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.

I did read the article it didn't mention the audited counts done by newspapers post election which showed that he would not have won the election unless a completely unrealistic set of standards were used.
I have no problem debating the electoral college system as well, but since that's what was in place at the time of the election, that's what everything has to be judged on.
