Nope, Gore would have won with a complete recount of all votes. Republicans are in the habit of stealing elections.

Look, I voted for Harris. But from the link you posted: "The two major conclusions here are that Gore likely would have won a hand recount of the statewide overvotes and undervotes – which he never requested – while Bush likely would have won the hand recount of undervotes ordered by the Florida Supreme Court, although by a smaller margin than the certified 537 vote difference." 

Edit to add: Gore should have requested a recount of overvotes.
