The director claims the 2000 vote count was tainted despite numerous recounts in Democrat-supervised counties which gave Bush a 537-vote victory, providing him with the needed electoral votes to win the presidency over Al Gore, who won the national popular vote.

Someone please explain this one. I keep hearing Gore won the popular vote, but if you look at the county by county map for 2000, there are a lot more for Bush than Gore.

So the only way Gore could have won the 'popular' vote with fewer counties was if those counties he won were tallied as having more voters than there actually were, right?

Not trying to be dense, just trying to understand. :)

I think they are referring to the fact that Gore won the popular vote nationally, which by the way, was not by a huge margin. If I remember correctly it was around 1/2 million votes.

That's much less than what Bush has right now nationally--- WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! MANDATE!!!
