And something else they have conveniently forgotten: the Gore campaign sent an army of lawyers into every Florida county to protest any military absentee ballot not notarized, a requirement at that time. There was a lawsuit to declare that requirement unconstitutional that was dismissed as moot after Bush v. Gore. "Support the troops." Yeah, right.
I remember the MSM “recount” too. I always mention it when the election of 2000 comes up, and very few people know that tidbit. As bad as 0bama was, the catastrophe of a Gore presidency would have been far worse.
