Reply #8: Media studies showed Gore would have won by over 40,000 in fair count [View All]

I don't think there is any dispute that Gore got enough legal votes in 2000 to be declared the winner in Florida, and thus to be President; also that in a fair election Gore would have won by
well over 40,000 votes. This was documented by a major effort by big Newspapers, etc. Gore had enough uncounted legal in Florida overvotes where the voters could vote for Gore twice(and
did) because of ballot design, that he would have won without even counting the hanging chads which would have gone to him also. He had thousands vote for him twice in Palm Beach, Duval,
Gadsden because of faulty ballot design, wrong instructions by officials, and machines that rejected the votes if you voted for the same candidate twice on 2 different parts of the ballot.
Like the polls indicated, the Florida election should not have been close. But it was also confirmed that over 100,000 eligible minority voters weren't allowed to vote due to official
malfeasance(voter suppression)
