I'm not good at mathematical probabilities, but i'm sure the probability of getting a tie at 269 votes each is much more likely than getting a tie at whatever number of individual votes their are nationwide. So, you're thinking that a win by 1 popular vote is different than a loss by 1 popular vote? You think such a win is "statistically significant"? You think a win by 1 popular vote would be legitimate? Obviously, probability and statistics, as you indicated, isn't your strong suit. A win by one vote isn't significant. Meaningless. It could just as easily have been a loss by one vote, or a win by 100 votes or even 1000 or 10000. Gore won the popular vote by 500,000 out of 105,000,000, or less than 0.5%. Meaningless. Could well be that if the errors were corrected Bush won the popular vote, as well.
