Ted. Re..We know who won the popular votes but we will never know who won the electoral votes because of the Sup. Ct's intercession. <<

I would suggest that we know who won the electorial votes because all of FL. electorial votes were cast for GW on the 28th of Dec. 2000. Whether those electorial ballots represented the popular vote winner in FL. is in question, but the fact of how they were cast is a matter of record.

Who got the most votes?
Bush.

Wrong!


No its right. GW got the most electoral votes.

We know who won the popular votes but we will never know who won the electoral votes because of the Sup. Ct's intercession.

No GW did get the most electoral votes. He got FL's electoral votes. He also as far as can be told received the most popular votes in FL, but even if he did not he still received FL's electoral votes and thus the largest amount of electoral votes in the election.

Hi Tejek, Scumbria, and Windsock,

Guess what?

Nancy Reagan left the White House with more than $1 million dollars worth of dresses, jewelry, shoes, and accessories!

Presidents have left the White House bearing everything from precious jewels to, in the case of the elder George Bush, at least 39 fishing rods.
