Gore did keep counting over and over - but only in certain places. They had a recount. Then Gore asked for a recount of the recount in certain... at least counties, and maybe down to individual precincts. I forget whether he took a third bite at the apple; he definitely took at least two.


In an election, you are supposed to keep biting until all the votes are counted with precision below the margin of error.
