57. That's funny, I'm the opposite of your friend
I'm not convinced that there was enough fraud in 2004 to swing the election for Bush - he had a commanding popular vote lead.


But in 2000, it is indisputable that Katherine Harris and Choicepoint disenfranchised tens of thousands of black voters. The courts even found against Harris and forced her to put those voters back on the Florida voter rolls, but it was too late for the election results.

Also, a great many votes were NEVER RECOUNTED. Unfortunately Gore only asked for a recount in counties where he thought he would be strongest. If he had taken a full statewide recount at the beginning, he would have won, according o the Miami Herald's analysis.
