> Gore never actually tried to get those counted in his favor. And how could you know?

Whereas of course the Bush campaign was absolutely eager to ensure every vote, including those for Gore, were verified, right?

> The correct outcome then would have been re-voting, not a recount.

I do agree with you on this, entirely. Although even if that was the plan, the state of Florida is not exactly known for making poll access easy.

> Whereas of course the Bush campaign

We're not talking about what the Bush campaign wanted. The point is that not even the Gore campaign argued that the double votes should be counted. So they're irrelevant.
