Correct. As we found out AFTER Bush was installed, no matter how you counted the votes in Florida, if the vote had been completed, Gore would have won.

Wrong. If you only counted the votes for Bush, Gore would lose.

Tell me you didn't read the linked article without telling me you didn't read the linked article.

"In each case, if the newly examined votes had been allowed to count in the November election, Mr Gore would have won Florida's 21 electoral college votes by a narrow majority and he, not Mr Bush, would be the president. Instead, Mr Bush officially carried Florida by 537 votes after recounts were stopped."

Whoosh. Read it again.

I've been reading it since January 2001.

If the recounts had been allowed to complete, no matter how you counted the votes, Gore would have won.

Bush only became President because they stopped counting valid ballots.
