TALLAHASSEE, FL
A third recount by Florida election officials has "definitively
determined" that Green Party candidate Ralph Nader was defeated in the
state. "There was a very significant 25,603-vote discrepancy between the
first two counts, with Nader losing by respective margins of 2,812,339 and
2,837,942, so we decided to conduct a hand recount," Florida Attorney
General Jim Smith said. "We now know that Nader lost by precisely
2,821,278 votes." It is not yet known whether Nader lost to Gore or Bush.
