If you go back to the thread I started last week 'A strange election scenario', you'll find that I raised this possibility the day after the election. It would take at least two faithless electors to swing the election to Gore. One would make it a dead heat, and send the decision to Congress. [It's been pointed out that Bush's lead in Florida is less than the margin of error of the various counting methods. For all rational purposes, the election there is a tie. But elections are not a rational process, and must arrive at single anointed winner. A coin flip would be as fair as the various machinations underway.] Peter

A Florida Electoral delegate for Dubya, (an unknown number of electoral votes), is threatening to vote for Gore. Apparently she is free to do so.

Her name is approximately Berta Morajelo, sounded Spanish or Cuban. Reported on MSNBC TV, who's WWW sucks rotten toads, so I don't visit it anymore.
