Gore received almost 51 million of the 103 million votes cast.

Bush 50,456,002 47.87%
Gore 50,999,897 48.38%
Nader 2,882,955 2.74%

There were about four million absentee ballots included in these results.

It would take massive amounts of voter fraud (not impossible for the dems, but unlikely) for Gore to have gotten 51 million votes from 38 million liberals. It is also unlikely that 12 or 13 million conservatives would have voted for him. Either this poll is overly optimistic for our side, or else the country has made a dramatic move to the right in the last four years. I'm hoping for the latter, but I don't believe it.

The question was based on who y'all would vote for today if we could re-vote the 2000 election. The events of 9-11 altered the political landscape. You would have to ask the Battleground Poll what the self-description percentages were in 2000. I would wager that there were more than 2% who had listed themselves as 'moderates' then.

According to my Republican Secretary of State in Missouri 32,000 people in St.Louis may have voted at least twice in the 2000 election. Several precincts in Philadelphia Pa.had OVER 100% voter turnout!
