That is a scary thought indeed.
I thought the only thing that kept him from being President was the people of the great state of Tennessee. Gore's home state IIRC.
No-thousands of manipulated ballots brought the Bush victory margin down to 537 votes. That plus the news media "calling" the election for Gore an hour before polls closed in the western part of the state. And the disqualifying of a few thousand military votes. And the deliberate miscounting of ballots in Dem. controlled districts. Etc., etc....
