      Gore would have won in Florida if there had been a full recount instead of a partial.

      If you really believe that people are responsible for the actions of their governments does that extend to the gore voters in Florida?

      If people are responsible for the actions of their governments then what justice should be enacted to right the wrongs they bear responsibility for?

        I believe that the number of people who voted for Nader in FL was enough to have given Gore a significant enough lead that a recount would never have taken place. Been a few years since I’ve looked at the actual numbers though so maybe I’m thinking of another state.

        Not sure why we’re talking about the 2000 election but ok.
