Hmm, interesting. Funny you don't mention that Bill Clinton won with only 43% of the vote in his election. See, that's part of the problem, people don't take the time to figure out how the system works. Yes, Al Gore got more of the POPULAR vote, however that is not what wins elections. George Bush won the election by having more votes in the ELECTORAL COLLEGE. |
And he wouldn't have won those ELECTORAL COLLEGE votes if the Florida election hadn't have been rigged/sabotaged/fucked with. That is the point that I think Sheck was making. The election was messed with by outside people and by people who STOLE THE RIGHTS OF AMERICANS TO VOTE. Don't tell me about how something is genius and then not address the issue of how that genius system was corrupted by people in power.
Florida has 25 Electoral votes available. Bush had a total of 271 Electoral votes. Gore had a total of 266 (or 267) Electoral votes. So don't sit there and tell that the Florida scamming didn't matter...
