Actually, the recounts showed NO such thing.
In fact, what they DID show, is that Bush's margin of victory was actually LARGER than originally recorded. In the end, his total actually went UP. And that's even going by the recount method that Gore and his team wanted to use. And, yes, I have a link...
George W. Bush would have won a hand count of Florida's disputed ballots if the standard advocated by Al Gore had been used, the first full study of the ballots reveals. Bush would have won by 1,665 votes — more than triple his official 537-vote margin — if every dimple, hanging chad and mark on the ballots had been counted as votes, a USA TODAY/Miami Herald/Knight Ridder study shows.
The study is the first comprehensive review of the 61,195 "undervote" ballots that were at the center of Florida's disputed presidential election.
