Well i have always said that if everyone who voted had their vote count the way they intended it to, Gore would've won Florida easily.

But what does this have to do with the equal protection argument i was questioning in my original post?

"From exit polls we know that 57 percent of whites supported Bush, with 40 percent backing Gore. Only 7 percent of blacks supported Bush, 93 percent going for Gore. Applying these percentages to the uncounted ballots, we find that Gore lost 127,000 votes to voter error. Bush lost 50,000. Had there been no voter error, with all voters recording their true intent, Gore would have picked up a net of 77,000 votes, enough to defeat Bush handily in Florida, and award him the presidency."

Gore also likely lost thousands of votes because of voter error among the retired Jewish voters who mistakenly voted for Buchanan.

I suppose they were lacking in IQ too?
