Can you post your studies that show that Bush won legitimately? Not only was that strange Pat Buchanan surge, but also Katherine Harris' efforts to ensure that former felons could not vote, and all sorts of irregularities having to to with keeping blacks from voting. All of these cost Gore thousands of votes, while Bush ended up ahead by only a few hundred votes at the end. I can find more studies on this later when I have more time. This is not the only article supporting my position: U.S. presidential election, 2000 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Presidential electoral votes by state.The U.S. presidential election of 2000 was one of the closest elections in U.S. history, decided by only several hundred votes in the swing state of Florida. On election night, the media prematurely declared a winner twice based on exit polls before finally conceding that the Florida race was too close to call. It would turn out to be a month before the election was finally certified after numerous court challenges and recounts. Republican candidate George W. Bush won Florida's 25 electoral votes by a razor-thin margin of the popular vote there, and thereby defeated Democratic candidate Al Gore. This election was only the fourth time in United States history that a candidate had won the Presidency while losing the nationwide popular vote. (The other three times were the elections of 1824, 1876, and 1888.) en.wikipedia.org
