Ah yes, the true stolen election. But Al Gore conceded, even though it really was too close to call.

the electoral votes column juxtaposed with the other columns is just documenting what should be a crime.

Oh my god what a tight race. I wonder what the closest vote in US history was.

Since all ‘electoral votes’ go to the winner in the US, why do they even bother mentioning it? Its seems entirely vestigial

US states have the option of choosing to distribute votes proportionally.

My brother is voting for Jill Stein to “send a message to the Democrats” that they can’t automatically rely on liberal votes. He voted for Nader in 2000 to “send a message to the Democrats” that they can’t automatically rely on liberal votes. When I mention the 24-year gap here his response is “what’s your point?”

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and will never make that mistake again.

Not to worry, Nader hasn’t been a candidate in a long time. Good luck out there!

That’s the official count, but we’ll never know what the actual count was. A bunch of people who “voted” for Nader were trying to vote for Gore but got screwed over by the format of the ballot.

Holy shit, 2,912,790 people voted for Dubya in Florida?! How come nobody noticed this before? I feel like that might have affected the outcome of the election.
