Much of election-night confusion about Florida returns centered on Voter News Service, little-known but influential consortium of television networks and Associated Press that in recent years has become main purveyor of voting results to media; early major network predictions that Vice Pres Al Gore won Florida depended partly on VNS calculations; VNS says it will probe why models that worked in past failed; notes its exit polls gave Gore small lead that was borne out by early returns; VNS is only service of its kind, result of 20-year evolution of media efforts to declare winners as accurately and as early as possible (M)

Television networks, in major embarrassment, are forced to retract projection made early in evening that gave Vice Pres Al Gore victory over Gov George W Bush in Florida; state, key to victory in tight race, remains too close to call; several networks cite 'problems' in data supplied by Voter News Service, their polling group; Bush strategist Karl Rove scores networks for making projection before polls closed in western part of state; flawed call adds to already dramatic election night coverage; photo (M)

The outcome of the presidential race between Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore balanced early this morning on no more than a few thousand votes in the closely contested state of Florida. Shortly after 2 a.m., Mr. Bush appeared to have won Florida, and several news organizations, including The New York Times, declared that he had captured the White House. Aides to Mr. Gore said he was preparing his concession speech, while Mr. Bush expected to announce his victory.
