I recall hearing that in some jurisdictions absentee ballots are not counted when they would not change the outcome of the local races. I don't remember hearing of 4 million uncounted absentee ballots in 2000...I seem to recall 2 million or 2.5 million as the total of questionable ballots of various kinds (illegal voter, miscounted, etc.). At any rate the number of questionable votes was much more than Gore's plurality in the popular vote.

I'm not sure of the exact # but suffice it to say Gore may not have 'won the popular vote'.

Am I correct in that assumption?
