Gore took back his phone concession and let out some sort of “whoop” because he thought he was going to take Florida in some recount or whatever.
The Democrats were screaming “selected not elected” and that Bush won the election 5-4 for years!
There were two transition teams for a whole month as well. I was on FR back then and it was just exhausting.
Then in 2004 there was the stuff in Ohio and they they accused Bush of “stealing” it again! What was it “recount all 48” or something like that.
Now these jackholes want to act “offended”?
I forgot about that one. It persisted into the joint session of Congress where the electoral votes are counted. Bush carries Electoral College after delay - Jan 6, 2005
Alleging widespread "irregularities" on Election Day, a group of Democrats in Congress objected earlier Thursday to the counting of Ohio's 20 electoral votes.The challenge was defeated 267-31 by the House and 74-1 by the Senate, clearing the way for the joint session to count the votes from the remaining states.
I assume that the dissenters in Congress did not "accept the results of the election," but didn't do any more than grouse about it. In other words, they rejected the outcome, but didn't take up arms in objection, so there was a peaceful transfer of power.
