The press intentionally didn't publish the results so as to not cause 'trouble' during the bombing of Afghanistan.

Sorry, every source I find gives Bush Florida, unless (as I mentioned) you count
over-votes, which was never an option.

This is well-documented. It's not speculation. Had Gore continued with his declared strategy, however, he still would have lost, as he wasn't demanding a Florida-wide recount, merely a recount of certain counties - where the difference wouldn't have turned it around for him.

A full recount would have gone for Bush. A partial recount would have gone for
Bush. Only a statewide recount including overvotes would have gone for Gore. That means that in cases where both Gore and some other candidate (besides Bush) were punched, it would be counted as a vote for Gore.
