If truth be known, because of all the Dem.voter fraud in the big cities alone, Bush would most likely have won 5 or 6 more states, and won the "meaningless" popular vote by around 3,000,000 votes.
Once the liberal press called Florida for Gore, the rest of the Republicans in the nation had no need to go to the polls to vote. If Gore took Florida, it was over.
Imagine the landslide for Bush had the election not been called off early by the left wing minions! The rest of the nation would have still voted.
