Whether Gore or Bush actually won the election is inconsequential at this point, save for the lasting damage. Almost 100% of the American people want fair elections which means that all votes are counted. If the American people can't even get fair elections, something almost 100% of them undoubtedly want, then they certainly can't get anything else passed. So no, we won't stop bringing this up as it's a very real issue that we're still suffering the consequences of and a great counterexample to the post I replied to.
- nickff 11y agoAll votes were counted. What Gore wanted was a recount of certain areas, but without uniform standards, it clearly viotlated Equal Protections, as well as not being possible to complete before the deadline. To be clear, that portion of the Supreme Court opinion was unanimous; the remedy was where the split was.
