Tucked away in the bottom of the Herald Q&A article about the overvotes is this "tidbit" of information:

"Q: In December, The Herald published a statistical analysis of overvotes and undervotes that suggested that in a flawless election Al Gore would have won by 23,000 votes. How does today's story compare with that?"

"A: While it is clear that 97 percent of the state's overvote ballots could not be legally counted, there are clues that suggest that at least some of them were mistakes by people who intended to cast votes for either Bush or Gore. While speculation of how those people really meant to vote is just that, speculation, 46,000 more people marked Gore on their overvoted ballots than marked Bush."
