In addition to the partial recount- by-hand in Palm Beach County, the board in Broward County arranged a meeting for Friday to discuss the Gore campaign’s request for a man ual recount there. With the outcome of the presi dential race in the balance, allega tions on both sides were becoming increasingly heated. Gore campaign manager William Daley said courts may find the Flori da result “an injustice unparalleled in our history.” Bush chairman Don Evans countered, “The Democrats who are politicizing and distorting these events risk doing so at the ex pense of our democracy.” More than a thousand Gore sup porters demonstrated outside a gov ernment building in downtown West Palm Beach, demanding an other election in the county. They said the confusing configuration of their ballot had cost the vice presi dent votes. “Gore got more,” they chanted. The Gore campaign contended the ballots in Palm Beach County were illegal. Reform Party candi date Buchanan said “ineptitude” in ballot design may have caused many Democrats to vote for him in advertently. and a decrease in the pasiraL , "I can't surely sayiiisleL a re -‘ factor in play, but itismovf 11 nitely one of the factoK,'Kjltii ; ^ Kyle added that thenewi^l 161111 :' cycle safety unit Bryan li:*“ 0 P e * u " stalled in the policedepartnlfpwdsi also assisting enforcement.
