…who heard this on the radio?

I heard that the Florida newspapers had finished their recount of the ballots for president(including all the dimpled chads), and Bush won (again).

The figure cited was that Bush had picked up six more votes overall.

I can understand why the national media would not want this publicized, but surely they could have buried it on page sixteen and then pretended they were being impartial. Or are they getting their counter-arguments ready?

Actually, this was discussed several days ago, in the thread, [George W. Bush Wins Again](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=55477). If you want to join in that discussion, please do so. But there’s no point in having two threads on the exact same topic, so I’m closing this one.
