I guess if you consider this "completely unrealistic" we just have a difference of opinion. I won't open the electoral college can of worms on this board again. That's been beat into the ground.

That analysis is completely speculative and assumes that because they voted for other Democratic candidates in statewide races, they would have voted for Gore for President. There is no way they could definitively determine the intent of the voters. That's why all "reasonable" estimates discount ALL of the ballots with multiple punches in the same race.
