A Third Recount
Published Jan 01, 1900
TALLAHASSEE, FL-A third recount by Florida election officials has "definitively determined" that Green Party candidate, Ralph Nader, was defeated in the state. "There was a very significant 25,603-vote discrepancy between the first two counts, with Nader losing by respective margins of 2,812,339 and 2,837,942, so we decided to conduct a hand recount," Florida Attorney General Jim Smith said. "We now know that Nader lost by precisely 2,821,278 votes." It is not yet known whether Nader lost to Gore or Bush.
