And perhaps some of the erstwhile Atlasians can demonstrate exactly why he chose those two counties. 
Yes, Gore chose the counties where he thought his votes were undercounted but consistently maintained a statewide recount was completely acceptable to him. A subsequent study showed that even a comprehensive statewide recount would likely have changed the result and made Gore president. That's besides the effect of the confusing butterfly ballot that also blocked Gore from winning Florida.
But regardless of what the result would have been, the reason Supreme Court stopped the recount was the exact same reason Katherine Harris certified the vote count when she did, Bush's cousin started the chain reaction of networks calling Florida for Bush, and Republican operatives attempted to intimidate election workers from completing their recount: in order to get Bush elected.
And of course, the Republican Party has been working the past couple years to prevent minorities from voting.
Whatever disagreements, it's deeply delusional to equate 9/11 conspiracy theories with the idea that more Floridians voted for Gore than for Bush or that the election was stolen.
EDIT: Excuse the overlap. Missed Harry's post while I was writing. He put it better than I did.
