Jeb Bush…. was not the Sec of State… he had no control or authority over elections… AND.. if you are intellectually honest… a tough hurdle for liberals… a little Wiki for ya. Gore tried to get a recount ONLY in four historically Democratic counties…. the Republican cried foul… the .05 margin called for an entire re-count… all counties. Being that there was no universal standard of counting… Bush prevailed under equal protection. A hanging chit in one county mean one thing in one county, another thing in another county. Supreme Court said that can’t happen.
Of course it would be democratic liberal districts where they have a tough time reading the ballot directions. republican counties seemed to get basic instructions down ok…..
“Although extremely controversial, the decision has never been cited as precedent, and if the Court had ruled in favor of Gore, he still would have lost because the specific recount he requested would not have changed the outcome of the election”
See that? Why did the dufus call the Bush campaign and announce a concession speech… remember that? Then withdrew it.

Another liberal myth … bet they are sorry they ever heard the name Ralph Nader though. 100,000 plus votes…. Gore lost.
