I see, but I believe that he did not win the popular vote in the entire U.S....of course that has happened in the past...

>There was a complete recount commissioned by one of the big newspapers (sorry but I don't remember which one) that held that Bush won the popular vote in FL, making him the duly elected President. You may be able to find the reference by googling on recount in florida.

>>He survived every recount that was done but they stopped the recounts. Some recounts were later performed in some counties. It would be interesting to see a recount of ALL votes cast in Florida not just selected counties. Of course it would be interesting to see a manual recount of all votes cast in all states for that matter. I believe the margin of error is greater than reported but then it has been that way through time so in essence it was as fair as all past elections and in that sense he was duly elected...

>>>Balderdash.... Bush survived everyone of the recounts, but that little fact is quickly forgotten....
