piezoe's world must have been so comfortable before he came here an was exposed to fact after fact destroying is worldview.
factcheck.org tired to spin it.. but they still had to live with these facts and so do you... after the press paid over 1million dollars for an investigation after the fact.
"AP: A vote-by-vote review of untallied ballots in the 2000 Florida presidential election indicates George W. Bush would have narrowly prevailed in the partial recounts sought by Al Gore, but Gore might have reversed the outcome – by the barest of margins – had he pursued and gained a complete statewide recount.
The Palm Beach Post put it more dramatically:
Palm Beach Post: Al Gore was doomed.
He couldn’t have caught George W. Bush even if his two best chances for an official recount had played out.
Similar Conclusions, Uncertain Results
An earlier study by a different media consortium reached similar conclusions. That study was conducted by a group that included the Miami Herald, USA Today and Knight Riddernewspapers. As USA Today said of the findings on May 11, 2001:
USA Today: George W. Bush would have won a hand recount of all disputed ballots in Florida’s presidential election if the most widely accepted standard for judging votes had been applied."

Your chances would be worse if our presidents were elected democratically. You should be damn glad for the electoral "college". (And for the Supreme Court!!!)
