86. As you say, the Miami Herald's recount was only of UNDER votes.

Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 07:11 PM by kiwi_expat

The subsequent newspaper consortium recount was of under and OVER votes. Gore did much better on the OVER votes. He got enough overvotes, showing unambiguous voter intent, that would have given him the Election.

Gore would have had a 46,000 margin of victory if (net) overvotes were included which were obviously intended for Gore/Bush but also showed a third party candidate. (www.gainsvillesun.com, November 24, 2001)
