Is it true Bush lost the 2000 election?

Question

But the Supreme Court elected him?

Answer 1

That's true. Al Gore won the popular vote (more people voted for Gore than Bush) but Bush won the Electoral College vote.

Answer 2

There was a problem with the voting method used in Florida. they used cards in which a person pokes out a hole in the card next to the canidate they wanted. The system did not work well because the "chads" (the part that was poked out) stuck on many of the cards. The Florida Supreme court decided on guidelines on which cards (with the stuck chads) were acceptable votes. Meaning which were to be considered true votes or not. This did not mean that only the Bush vote were counted. It only was a guideline.

Many people were upset about it because the electoral vote was so close. Gore had won the popular vote which generally means that the electoral vote would be the same. This is not nessasarily true. When it comes to the actual election only the electoral votes count.

Ever since there has been a animosity towards Bush by members of the Democratic Party. It has grown to large proportions over the years.

Answer 3

Well I thought the elections were fair and unbiased however do you know that all the politicians that have run since Reagan belong to the same organization to promote the creation of a one world government. This is called the CFR. There is no fair unbiased elections because you really do not have a choice who wins.

Answer 4

from i remember of news reports Al Gore undisputedly won popular vote. Bush won Florida where his brother was Govenor by 500 votes and that was deciding stater. There allegations of all kinds of nonsense and the court refused to force a supervised recount. Nobody realy knows or will ever know cause there was no recount. I think that stinks but i will admit to being bias against thir administration

Answer 5

It is the polls were rigged and many people never had a vote counted and it is all because of those stupid electrnic voting devices which they are finally getting rid of finally they go in favor of the person with more money ecspecially when it goes into the pockets of the eloectronic voters company

Answer 6

No. That is liberal whining, and it was actually Gore, himself, who tried to steal the election by recounting votes in liberal Democrat infested counties in Florida.

That was very sick and disgusting, and showed poor sportsmanship on the part of the man who subsequently claimed to have "invented the Internet," and runs around in essence saying "the sky is falling" on the order of Chicken Little.

Answer 7

He lost it easily. Heck, Bush's winning Florida's popular vote was more rigged than Bonds election to the All-Star Game.

To let you know how rigged THAT was, Bonds was trailing over 600,000 votes with a week of voting left, and he pulled it off somehow.

Answer 8

Yes he won with the electorial college and Kerry won with the citizens vote. Some kind of way he got into office.

Answer 9

Yes, I heard he couldn't even do the traditional walk to the white house because there was such an outrage and people were protesting

Answer 10

Technically, he lost due to everyones vote but he won because of Electorial votes
