Incorrect.  It was not widely reported- certainly not as widely reported as 
the counts which said Bush was the true winner.  The criteria of the count 
you have cited is vague and the entire "media consortium" idea is also vague. 
 These estimates take tremendous liberties with terms such as "conspiracies 
and voter error."  Don't mind if I fail to trust it.  I read the national 
news every day and saw only one report that had Gore the winner.  It stated 
several criteria used to count ballots- three of which had Bush the winner 
and one which had Gore the winner.  I don't think any of these counts took 
the media's reprehensible projection of FL for Gore before polls closed in 
the Republican panhandle.  How many people turned their cars around or stayed 
home the final hour of voting?  I haven't heard a measure of this from ANY 
media source.
