Very few of 57,700 voters would have voted huh? Why? Because they're "stupid minorities" who don't vote?
What about the hundreds and thousands of non ex-felons whose votes were taken away just because they had a similar name as some out of state felon? Even if you were right it would still be more than enough to wipe out Bush's so-called lead of 523 votes. In fact it would have likely given Gore a 10,000 vote lead.

Also, there was double and late voting by so-called "military" voters allowed AFTER the election.

Florida was not called for Gore for very long at all. If I remember correctly, about 15 minutes time. The real cheating was the voter rolls themselves. Of course next time we also have to worry about the computer voting machines which can possibly be rigged and hacked.

All this goes to the party in charge of the state, Bush's brother. No wonder Katherine Harris erased her hard-drives.

AS has no problem substituting his/her assumptions and fantasies for facts.

Good point. Obsessing about past events that can't be changed (like the 2000 vote or the decision to go to war) does tend to make Democrats look like cranks. Maybe we should encourage them.
