Question

Al Gore wanted a vote recount in four Florida counties—Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade. What did these counties have in common?

Answer 1

Follow the votes. You can see from the map that these counties voted for Al Gore. They also had large populations. Gore figured that these counties were the most likely to hold the additional votes he needed to win the presidency.
