I wholeheartedly believe the GOP (Bush) gained nearly 5 million popular votes between year 2000 and 2004 precisely because they started paying attention to the immense voter fraud (phony absentee ballots, inner city Democrat ballot box stuffing, union coercion in strongholds like Philly and Chicago).
I truly believe the polls were about correct in 2000, and that GWB really should have had a 4-5 percent lead over Gore on election day.
But the Democrat surge in cities in Fla., Pennsylvania, Illinois, and other states pushed Gore's totals up.
With all the Bush hatred syndrome among Democrats, I find it hard to believe that 5 million of them would have switched from Dem to GOP between 2000 and 2004.
States using electronic voting flummoxed the Dems-—they hadn’t figured out how to cheat with them......yet.
It’s been said Gov Jeb won handily second time-—w/ post-2000 electronic voting machines. Same reason.
Also was crossover voting for Bush——Dem Black churchgoers voted Repub b/c of their opposition to gay marriage.
