Tomorrow (becaue I am getting loopy tonight) I would like to discuss what is known as "overvoting", or, roughly, marking the ballot improperly, and how that affected things in Florida.
And here is where I think I got confused:
Federal Elections 2000: 2000 Presidential Popular Vote Summary Table
With the overall votes total (for the nation, rather than the state of FL).
PS- I concede Florida. But that does not mean I will write a book about icebergs melting.
