Are you still on about that?
1. It was hardly a riot. Some people got mad because they insisted on hiding the count out of sight. They moved the count to another place and continued. The count showed that Bush won.
2. The SC had to weigh in because Algore cherrypicked the counties he wanted recounted because he thought he would gain more in them, which put the others under unequal application of the law. Also, they were dragging out the recount to give more time to create more boxes of ballots in somebody's trunk.
Oh, it was close all right, but you do know, don't you, that recounts done after the election was decided all showed Bush winning, so it was the right call, right?
I was around then and it wasn't. Algore tried to steal it but failed. He would probably have better luck today because the media as well as the alphabet orgs are much more in the democrats' grip. Then, of course, you have the sky screamers who can't handle losing.
Yes there was, and Algore was prevented from pulling it off, thank God.
Tsk, tsk, you went Godwin's. Never go Godwin's, you automatically lose.
