Had Florida adopted proposed legislation to allot electoral votes by district, Al Gore would have won the presidential election even though he lost most of Florida's congressional districts.

Had the Congressional Distict Method [CDM] been in effect nation-wide, Bush woulda won 288-250.

I know that, but Florida DemocRATS had considered enacting legislation prior to the 1996 election that would have split the electoral vote in Florida by congressional district. Had it been in effect in 2000, Gore would have won, because none of the other sates would have enacted similar legislation.
