False. A recount done after the election was settled upheld the result. Face it, by every measure that matters, Bush won. Gore didn't even carry his own state. I mean, if you want to get into irregularities, there are the military votes Gore tried to stop, the cherry-picking Gore was doing that disenfranchised districts he didn't want to recount, and the voters in the panhandle who didn't vote because the talking heads had already called the state before the polls closed. You're just whining about sour grapes at this point.You are incorrect because it was Algore who was prevented from stealing the election. Rewriting history doesn't change reality.
sigh. Whatever, guy. Will you guys ever own up to what a disaster Bush was?
And you can complain that the Super Bowl losing team actually won because they had possession of the ball longer. Unfortunately, that's not how the rules work. There were a lot of Bush voters in the Florida panhandle, for example, who didn't go vote because some of the networks had already called the state and they didn't think it would matter. Should not their opinions matter as well? Ultimately, it comes down to how the ballots are marked, and by that standard, Bush won.
Except we never counted how all the ballots were marked.
We can talk about the 3000 people Jeb illegally purged from the voter rolls, or the recount Bush stopped in Miami. But the point was..
Gore won the most votes nationally.
Gore probably won Florida, but they never counted the votes completely.
Like I've always said, you might as well complain that the losing Super Bowl team actually won because they had possession of the ball longer. The popular vote doesn't win the presidency, the EC does, and if that changes, so will the strategies and tactics each candidate employs.
