In the year 2000 the majority vote went to Gore. Head out of your ass please!

You might want to take your own advice there, calex59. LOL.

You're absolutely wrong about this. Al Gore received more actual votes than George W. Bush (by about a 1.5-million vote margin), but because of the number of votes that went to minor candidates he did not secure a majority. Gore received 48.4% of the vote in 2000, while Bush received 47.9% and the remaining 3.7% went to other candidates.

Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat to get a majority (i.e., more than 50%) of the popular vote in a presidential election -- and yes, that was 30 years ago (1976).

Sorry, but Gore won the popular vote in 2000. Spin it how you like, he still won more of the popular vote than Bush did. Nice try but it didn't work.
