-Caveat Lector- http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_112909.html?nav_src=newsIndexHeadline Four other US states may recount election votes Four more US states may follow Florida and undertake recounts to decide who will be the next president. The recounts may be ordered in Oregon, Iowa, New Mexico, and Wisconsin, which Mr Gore won narrowly. In New Mexico, early voting tallies released in the state's largest county narrowed the gap between Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore to 164 votes, with Mr Gore in the lead. That's a change from a previous unofficial Gore lead of 6,825 votes. Republicans have threatened to challenge close Gore victories if he draws out challenges in Florida. But New Mexico has only five electoral votes and wouldn't be enough be itself. In Oregon, a recount may also be required by a state law if the margin between Bush and Gore is less than one-fifth of 1% or about 2,800 votes. With about 40,000 more votes to be counted, many in Republican leaning areas, Mr Gore led Bush by 8,485 votes. In Iowa, Republican officials are exploring the possibility of requesting a voter recount in a state that Mr Bush lost by less than 5,000 votes. To ask for a recount, Bush would have to personally write each of Iowa's 99 county auditors by 5 pm Nov. 16 or 17, depending on the county. In Wisconsin, where Mr Bush lost by about 6,000 votes, there is no automatic recount. But a candidate may request a recount. The Bush campaign said they are looking at that possibility.
