Don't forget, the first Dimocrat request was to transfer Buchannan votes to Gore because the ballot was "confusing" (to the easily confused).
In the final count, the Dims counted many dimpled ballots for Gore, and he still lost.
The Florida Supreme Court made up a new deadline that had been set by the Florida Legislation.
And of course the news Dims called the election for Gore prematurely and so many voters in the Florida panhandle, a Bush stronghold, just went home instead of voting.

Michael Moore shows a clip of CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin saying that if ballots had been recounted in Florida after the 2000 presidential vote, "under every scenario Gore won the election." What Moore doesn't show is that a six-month study in 2001 by news organizations including The New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN found just the opposite. EUREKA!! I'VE FIGGURED IT OUT!!
Michael Moore is the love child of Helen Thomas and Erich von Däniken!
In Chariots of the God, von Däniken would show some South American artifact, like the construction of Machu Picchu and authoritatively announce Obviously it had to be ancient astronauts who did this and then charge off to another site before anyone had time to yeah, but his outrageous theory.

Moore finds much stronger footing when he focuses on Bush's presidency. He accurately quotes a front-page Washington Post story from August 2001 noting that Bush had spent 42 percent of his presidency on vacation. He's not on any stronger footing here. He omitted the Washington Post's own disclaimer that the 42% vacation time included weekends and working vacations at Camp David!

What Moore doesn't show is that a six-month study in 2001 by news organizations including The New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN found just the opposite. Even if the Supreme Court had not stopped a statewide recount, or if a more limited recount of four heavily Democratic counties had taken place, Bush still would have won Florida and the election.
And I don't think any of them ever took into account the military vote that I never find in any of the "recounts."
