The same leftist phrase,repeat it often enough and the sheeple believe it
The statement that gore won the popular vote is equally erroneous. He won more of the votes that were counted, but plenty of votes weren't counted. It wasn't just the absentee military votes in FL, it was absentee votes everywhere. If there weren't enough absentee ballots to change the outcome, the states just ignored them. CA, where gore won handily, ignored enough to have changed the "popular vote" to Bush by themselves. Other states did the same.
No, I don't think states should be required to count all the votes in these cases, but it still tweaks me when the Dems get away with lies.
