Once again Tom, you are so stuck on trying to revise American history, and attempting to jam down your militant, Marxist inspired far left extremist Anti-American agenda down the American public's proverbial throats, that you are not even paying close attention to what you write.
You try and argue that Gore won the election, but when confronted with the facts, you then revert to, "Gore won the popular vote".
A minor point, but you cite "American Analysis dot org"; which may very well be where you got the article that you posted. Nevertheless, American Analysis cites the Wiki article that I reference. Biased to say the least.
Even FactCheck.org, which has been proven to be a biased, partisan organization admmits conclusively that the eight news media organizations who ran the "Consortium" and checked the results after the election found that President Bush did in fact win Florida.
For you to stand here and make the statement (continuously) that "Gore won the election"; or that "Bush stole the electon"; again, confirms that you are a Moonbat. Gore didn't. There is nothing that you can do to change history, and the proof is positive that such a claim by you (and most every one of the small, but very vocal minority of Americans who are Moonbats) demonstrates how out of touch with politics, current/national events, contemporary history, and life in general, that you and your brethren really are.
Respectfully,

>> >>
>> >> [edit]
>> >>
>> >> Equal Protection Claim
>> >> Bush argued that the recounts in Florida violated the Equal Protection
>> >> Clause of the 14th Amendment because there was no statewide standard
>> >> that each county board could use to determine whether a given ballot

>> >> county would be counted while the other voter's ballot in a different
>> >> county would be rejected, due to the varying standards.
>> >>
>> >> Gore argued that there was indeed a statewide standard, the "intent of
>> >> the voter" standard, and that this standard was sufficient under the
>> >> Equal Protection Clause. Furthermore, Gore argued that the consequence
>> >> of ruling the Florida recount unconstitutional simply because it
>> >> treated different voters differently would effectively render every
>> >> state election unconstitutional. This is because every state uses
>> >> different methods of recording votes in different counties (e.g.,
>> >> optical scanners, punch-cards, etc.), and that each method has a

>> >> county has a greater chance of having his vote undercounted than a
>> >> voter in an "optical scanner" county. If Bush wins, Gore argued, every
>> >> state would have to have one statewide method of recording votes to be
>> >> constitutional.
>> >>
>> >> Seven justices agreed that Bush won on this claim.
>> >>
>> >> [edit]
>> >>
>> >> Article II Claim
>> >> Bush also argued that the Florida Supreme Court's ruling violated Art.
>> >> II, § 1, cl. 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which requires each state to
>> >> appoint electors "in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may
>> >> direct." Essentially, Bush argued that the Florida Supreme Court's

>> >> Only three justices, Chief Justice Rehnquist, Justice Scalia and

>> >>
>> >> [edit]

>> >> The remedy
>> >> If the current recount were unconstitutional, the State of Florida
>> >> would have to fashion the proper remedy. Since oral arguments in the
>> >> case occurred on December 11, there was a limited amount of time
>> >> available to conduct a recount. By law, the Electoral College was

>> >> would meet in order to ensure their electoral votes could not be

>> >> The decision
>> >> A 5–4 majority ruled that the Florida recount was unconstitutional.
>> >> The majority opinion, which represented the opinions of five justices,
>> >> noted significant problems in the uneven way the votes were being

>> >> impracticality of the process ordered by the Florida court.
