With manual recounts still incomplete, the Gore vote has increased by a net total of 96 votes. If approved, this would cut Bush's lead to 834. Recounts are already underway in the large, Democratic-leaning counties, Palm Beach and Broward. Another manual recount may begin in the large Miami-Dade County.

...being reasonably honest about the suspense. In what is now almost purely a numbers game, Gore has less than a week to find 930 votes (or more, depending on the absentee ballot challenges) in the piles of cardboard and chads sitting in the counting rooms of Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. And on November 26, he's going to win or he's going to lose...
