    As a Florida resident I can tell you the vote count was counted over and over and over again. Not once did Gore ever have a lead. What the Supremes basically said was Enough. Enough counting.

    It was a real shitshow. Election officials holding up punch cards and examining with magnifying glasses. The recounting and examination went on for 6 months AFTER Bush was in office. At the end of that period, Bush was still comfortably ahead. :roflol:

    Holding them up to their foreheads like an old Johnny Carson Carnac bit trying to determine through psychic powers what the voter had intended.

    I used to work with the judges in South Florida. The three big counties (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) are dominated by liberal judges. They would have kept counting until Gore won.

    Nothing has changed in 16 years, the DNC is still a corrupt third world banana republic political party and the MSM was in collusion with the DNC and Gore campaign back in 2000 as they were with the DNC and Hillary campaign in 2016.

    Gore lost in court, the Circuit Court of Florida under Judge Sauls. He SUMMARILY lost. Gore complained that just because he could show no evidence of tabulation errors and he lost in court he should now bea able to have selected hand recounts. The FSC injected itself and without any constitutional basis changed the rules of the election to allow those recounts and tried to vacate the plenary power of the Secretary of State because they didn't like her sole power to certify the results in order to get them to the HoR to be certified there. We just don't like what you did. SCOTUS asked the FSC to justified what they just did, where did they get the authority. The FSC didn't, couldn't, so the just ignored the SCOTUS and ordered the recounts to begin again and stayed the certification. SCOTUS then said ok that's it you do not have the authority to change the rules of the election and to do so in a way that denies equal protection of all the voters in the state. The certification of the results stood. They certainly did not appoint or annoint or select or chose Bush.

    The stuff in the OP is ancient news.

    What is next?

    A post explaining how "some people" don't believe that the ocean contains water?

    And yet, people form the left will still tell you GWB as selected, not elected.

    Abd accurate as opposed to the fallacious narrative the left tries to sell the uninformed.
    You dont believe tbat narrative do you, that the SCOTUS "selected" Bush?
