Ace:

Do your homework. Fact- not opinion, fact- is that eht so-called "popular
vote" was undecided. A statistical tie, more accurately. We will *never*
know who actually received the most votes, because:

1) Not all votes were counted. It's legal in most places to discard votes
if they won't tip the electoral scales. Therefore, in the "Bush" states
many Gore votes (and potential additional Bush votes) were discarded, and
vice versa.
2) Out of the votes that *were* counted, the totals were within the margin
of errors of the mechanical counting systems used. Even with "perfectly"
filled out ballots, the machine counters have margins of error (within a 95%
confidence interval) of ~3% of total votes cast. Basically, any vote tally
within 6% of each other is at least 5% chance we gave the win to the wrong
guy . . . as teh tallies get closer, the probability of error gets higher.
3) *Now* you may apply whatever sense of the typical "irregularites"
(10,000 absentee ballots discarded in Florida) you feel exist, and hte
margins are even higher.

STOP REPEATING HTE "GORE WON POPULAR ELECTION" BULL****!

You are no longer ignorant- if you repeat this lie, you are evil.

Go play with your chads. Chicago and New York screwed-up by
trying to trust the Cubans to elect them. The Cubans don't like Gore.
They don't like Kerry either. The Democrats have missed the boat
down there since 1963.

Who won the popular vote?

Who won the Grammy?

I see. When you find an uncomfortable question you answer with a
different question.

I'll give you a hint. George Bush wasn't the winner.
