My understanding was that they found that if the votes were counted the way Gore wanted, 
Bush won.  But if the votes were counted the way the Florida Supreme Court ordered, then it 
would depend on the decision of the judge supervising the count as to how certain disputed 
ballots were to be counted.

Gore only asked for a recount in certain counties where he thought he was strong.  The 
Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide recount, under the supervision of a single judge, 
so that there would be a single set of criteria for all ballots.  The US Supreme Court blocked 
that recount on the ground that there were no uniform criteria.

Stephanie Miller this morning gave a couple of Websites concerning the issue of the validity 
of the vote count this time:  http://blackboxvoting.org and http://stolenelection2000.com .  
The latter is still under construction.
