Like I said before, this recount business has a margin of error in
reflecting the "true" intentions of voters who cast ballots in the election
of +/- a couple thousand votes. Thus, we would be just as well off
sending Bush and Gore to Tallhassee, and Bush as the representative of the
challenging Party, calling a coin flip in the air.
As it turns out, the margin of victory in New Mexico is currently Bush by
four (4) votes - and should the final tally have them tied, the outcome
will be decied by a game of chance - either a coin flip, or a draw from a
deck of playing cards.
