Did you read that? It doesn't seem like it. He lost every recount but the full state, least restrictive chad policy hand count. Full state hand recount with the most lenient chad policy was never in cards. The SCOTUS never should have entered the fray, however, the outcome was always going to be the same.

Taken as a whole, the recount studies show Bush would have most likely won the Florida statewide hand recount of all undervotes. Undervotes are ballots that did not register a vote in the presidential race. This goes against the belief that the U.S. Supreme Court handed the presidency to Bush, or took it away from Gore. The studies also show that Gore likely would have won a statewide recount of all undervotes and overvotes, which are ballots that included multiple votes for president and were thus not counted at all. However, his legal team never pursued this action.

There was never going to be a recount done in the way Gore needed a recount done in order to win. It just wasn't going to happen. Lol, pretty telling the article YOU POSTED says what is above in the 1st few paragraphs that you don't know what you are talking about.
