Florida on Wednesday began a judicious process of recounting every presidential ballot cast statewide.

Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush cautiously predicted the recount would bring him the victory he tasted for just a few short moments on Election Night.
His Democratic rival, Vice President Al Gore, urged "respect for the rule of law" in a brief statement Wednesday afternoon as Florida officials began carefully counting ballots once again. Fourteen Florida counties reported the first recount results late Wednesday afternoon, accounting for 2,909,260 votes for Bush -- a gain of 125 votes over previously estimated levels -- and 2,907,484 for Gore, gaining him 133 votes.
The recount was suspended for the night at just before 6 p.m. Wednesday. The process will resume Thursday morning.
