Gore: 'I think I carried Florida'
The Hill ^ | 8/5/17 | JOE CONCHA

....Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore told HBO's Bill Maher he thinks he carried the state of Florida in 2000, a state that would have given Gore the presidency over George W. Bush.

Gore, 69, visited Maher on HBO's "Real Time" on Friday to discuss his follow-up climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" when the host broached the issue of rising sea levels.

The Hill is *normally* up there with Fake News. But, to the writer's credit, it is noted that subsequent study showed Al Gore LOST the state of Florida.

I remember the constant recounts and even the NY SLIMES "recount" long after the election was decided. And Gore lost EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Algore’s brain consists of one faded hanging chad.

Yes, but that was because they counted the votes of those backwards overseas military personnel, and all those old people who where confused and marked their ballots for Pat Buchanan when they really intended to vote for Algore.

You clearly forgot that one scenario, where if they watched the tape of the chad counts in reverse in slow motion with blue and green filters while black lesbian wiccans were chanting first century christian hyms while teams of dwarfs dressed as oompa loompas performed the dance of the sugar plum fairy, that gore came out ahead 6 votes.

All he had to do was ask for a statewide recount, but he decided he wanted to cherry pick counties favorable to him.

Gore: 'I think I carried Florida'

And that says it all. Proof that Gore is delusional.

Every recount, even the bogus media ones, showed that Gore lost Florida.

The reality is, the Democrat fraud machine failed to deliver Florida. And, The People of Florida refused to allow Gore to steal it!

To hear Gore say that sounds to me like De’Vondre Campbell of the Atlanta Falcons who doesn’t believe James White scored on the last play in the Super Bowl last year.

I can understand and feel sympathy for the Falcons linebacker, but facts are facts.

Same for Al Gore...except I don’t feel the slightest sympathy for him.

And I think Gore is a liar and a fraud and a swindler.

The Ministry of Propaganda spent 9 months after the election counting ballots every way they could to make AlGore the winner.

They couldn’t.

If punch cards had a systemic undercount, then a careful recount would boost the victory spread of the winner. So if the split was 1000-900, fixing a 1% undercount would change the vote to 1010-909. Now the trick is to recount only in precincts you are way ahead... let’s say Broward, Palm Beach and the non-Cuban sections of Dade, hope to momentarily get ahead and declare victory, like the visiting team in baseball getting ahead in the top of the tenth and then have the umpire declare the game is over. The problem is that Florida law was clear that the entire state had to be recounted - not cherry-picked counties. Fortunately the Supreme Court decided 7-2 that could not happen. The following 5-4 decision was merely that after Gore’s hijinks there was no longer time for a full recount so the original count was the final one.
