This is true. Pat Buchanan got higher percentages in some other Florida
counties. Pure statistics can't prove that this number is an impossibility.
However, to be realistic, exit polls showed these votes going to Gore. That
is what caused the news media to project the state to Gore originally.
Their exit polls showe Gore leading by about 20,000 for that county. It
wasn't until the ballots started getting rejected by the computer that the
pollsters realized that their exit polls didn't match the ballots.
