If Nader had not run in 2000 studies show that only a tiny fraction of Nader's 2.8 million votes would have gone to Gore Nadar himself said that about 40% of his votes absent him would have voted for Gore, about 25% for Bush, and the balance would not have voted. Those numbers are consistent with my precinct by precinct analysis that I did in connection with CD redistricting when examining what happened with down ballot races vis a vis the Nader vote. Heck, my GOP mother voted for Nader, and GOP down ballot.

Let's see.....Nader received 97,488 votes according to this article
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/772471/posts
So.....if Gore got 40%, that's about 38996
25%for Bush is about 23371
The difference of 15624 is far more than enough for Gore to win Florida and be President.
Even if Gore won only 1% more of Nader's votes than Bush, certainaly a reasonable expectation, he gains 975 votes which again wins Florida and the Presidency.
Am I in error here?

Even if Gore won only 1% more of Nader's votes than Bush, certainaly a reasonable expectation, he gains 975 votes which again wins Florida and the Presidency. Mostly correct. The Democratic machine in Florida stole 239,000 votes. Except for the screwup in one county, they would have stolen 245,000 votes, winning Florida and the Presidency.
For freedom,
