1/100th of 1% of US population tipped the scales?
Seems improbable , the vote counting system appears to be rigged from my perspective.
I'll probably make money off these election results anyway but I have mixed feelings about making money this way.
The people around Seattle had signs with a picture of Ralph Nader and the caption "not for sale !" ... he may not have been paid for it but he was definitely working for the Bush campaign.
EDIT!! LESS THAN 10,000 votes tipped the scale for the whole election as of 3:20 am eastern time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

George W. Bush (REP) 2,883,371 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Al Gore (DEM) 2,874,208 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ralph Nader (GRN) 94,320 2
Pat Buchanan (RFM) 21,368 0
