84. what did Gore win, precisely?
He won the popular vote. He would have won the Presidency, if the people of Florida had any say in their choice of Electors (or if the Supreme Court believed its own propaganda about "states rights" (or if the Electors weren't partisan hacks, like the founding fathers envisioned)).

Look at his Exit Poll analysis and tell us all where he "cherry-picked".

The foundational assumption in all of this is that the preliminary n=13047 exit poll supercedes the final n=13660 weighted poll:

So the E-M of 12:20am should be believed with unwavering certainty, but their final weighted poll should be disregarded. See "How to Lie With Statistics I":
