Every recount showed that the President won the popular vote in Florida. The President legitimately won the electoral vote...by a very, very small margin...that is the fact. If you want to blame someone then blame Nader as he pulled votes that would have otherwise gone to Gore.

I would blame anyone that tossed my vote out. People always say that their vote doesn't count anyway so why should I go vote... that was a prime example of why some people just don't bother.
If I am going to take the time out of my busy day to go wait in live to vote for someone.... I expect it to be counted. If the machine is not functioning properly and the hole did not punch the entire way through.. then that is not my problem... If you see that there is a mark there and none anywhere else on the ballot... you can plainly see who my choice was... Since these were hand counted... this would have been an easy assessment.
All I am saying is that they tossed out a lot of votes and as a voter I do not think that is right. I was not there, I did not count them, I do not know how mwnay for bush or gore got tossed... it just seems that the elections was very close and gore had it before all this went down...
and all in a state a bush has control over... that is my only point... it just seems very suspicious.
