Iowa:

The Bush campaign has sent representatives to Iowa to assess a possible challenge to Al Gore's 4,949-vote lead. County boards of supervisors meet Monday or Tuesday to examine vote totals, consider challenges and declare the results official. All requests for a recount must be made to a county within three days of the canvass -- either Thursday or Friday.

Eric Woolson, Bush's Iowa spokesman, said the campaign would monitor the canvassing and then decide whether to request a recount.

Under a recount, each county would have 18 days after its canvass to complete the new tally, said Sandy Steinbach, the state elections director. A recount could cover all of the nearly 1.3 million ballots cast statewide or target specific counties.

State Republican officials are lining up Bush supporters in each of the 99 counties to represent Bush on county recount boards should they be convened.

New Mexico:

Unofficial results show Bush with a 17-vote lead out of more than 571,000 ballots cast, but state election officials said 370 "in-lieu-of" ballots remained uncounted Sunday. Those ballots, which are to be counted by Nov. 17, go to people who requested absentee ballots but did not receive them. In-lieu-of ballots are checked against absentee ballots and are counted only if there is not already an absentee ballot for that voter.

Meantime, state police began impounding early-voting and absentee ballots in case they are needed for recounts or review. Republicans requested that ballots be impounded and police seized them in six counties under orders from two state District Court judges. The counties comprise two judicial districts. GOP officials say impoundment petitions will be filed in all 13 New Mexico judicial districts.

Under state law, either party may request impoundment. It's up to a judge to decide whether to grant the request. Once an impoundment order is issued, state police take possession of ballots from the county clerk. New Mexico GOP officials say they simply want to ensure the ballots are safe should a recall be ordered.

A recount must be requested within six days of the Nov. 28 completion of a review of the vote by the state canvassing board.

Oregon:

With 99 percent of the votes counted Friday, unofficial results gave 702,218 votes to Gore and 696,462 to Bush -- a difference of 5,756. A recount would be required by state law if the margin falls to less than one-fifth of 1 percent, or about 2,800 votes. If a recount is called, it is expected to be held the first week of December.

Counting of about 40,000 votes from the state's mail-in balloting resumes Monday.

Dan Lavey, Bush's Oregon spokesman, said Sunday the Bush campaign is waiting to see the final count before deciding whether a recount would be sought.

Wisconsin:

The Bush campaign has not ruled out a recount in Wisconsin, where Gore led Bush by 6,099 votes out of 2.5 million votes cast. The campaign cannot request a recount until all 72 counties turn in certified vote tallies to the state Monday or Tuesday. It then must do so within three days.

The state Republican Party said it has received about 800 complaints of questionable polling procedures from around the state, including 600 from Milwaukee County. The GOP has asked the Milwaukee County district attorney to look into the allegations, which include voters getting two ballots or being told they had already voted.
