A third possibility--"conjecture," at this point, Campion said--was that the politically powerful "Cuban-American community was able to put influence on board and on the mayor to, in effect, stop the process."
On Dec. 1, the Times revealed that the iconoclastic (but Democratic) Miami mayor, Alex Penelas, had been in contact with Leahy as many as three times a day.

Campion estimates that a county recount might well have swung enough votes to Gore to give him the state.
Still, he acknowledged when pressed by a student questioner that the 19 percent of the recounting that was completed when the county decided to suspend the procedure covered mostly Democratic precincts--and that ballots from the heavily Republican precincts where Cuban-Americans lived had yet to be cast.
