Let's see.....Nader received 97,488 votes according to this article

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.
