Thats not true, and in fact voting problems were no worse in Florida then any other state.
The only reason it was Florida and not some other state is Florida is the one that mattered vote wise.
What is true is that Gore didn't ask for a state wide recount and tried to get it selectively recounted while bringing the partisan nature of the Florida supreme court to bear. His people tried to avoid election law, both state and federal. They tried also to invalidate as many military ballots as possible due to the fact that most people in the military vote republican.
Had he simpley asked for a state wide recall all would have been fine, instead he tried to weasle his way to victory, and set a new low for presidential elections.
