Yes both of these are valid points. Gore did win the popular vote by a fairly wide margin. There is evidence that Gore won the popular vote in Florida as well, you might try reading the article you're posting on for more on that. Gore requested a recount of only two counties when it was well within his rights to request a statewide recount.
