CORRECTION
This is only
untrue is you are a
Bush supporter. Or perhaps someone who simply doesn't believe the facts. Or maybe someone who can't count...
Whichever of the above is true, the fact remains that Gore
DID WIN THE POPULAR VOTE
Tally of the popular vote:
Code:
Presidential candidate Electoral vote Popular vote Party
George W. Bush of Texas 271 50,456,002 47.87% Republican
Al Gore of Tennessee 266 50,999,897 48.38% Democrat
