49. Oh What Utter Bullshit.
And what makes you think that hundreds of thousands stayed away? What makes you think that out of whatever number it was of those that stayed away, that the split in how they would've voted would've been any different than those that DID show up?

Hey, here's some news for ya: 1.7 MILLION fucking people voted that day. Record breaking. Well over double what voted in 2004. You trying to make a claim that hundreds of thousands stayed home? Those numbers would tend to indicate otherwise.

Furthermore, since there are no factors whatsoever to suggest that one side's voters would've been more apt to stay home than the other side's, is it not reasonable to assume that for the most part, they would've broken out similarly to the 1.7 MILLION PERSON SAMPLE that was done?

There was more than a 300,000 vote difference. More than 1.7 MILLION people voted. Record breaking. More than double the numbers of 2004. You're going to seriously have the audacity to sit here and attempt to claim that the intent of the voters WASN'T heard? That the state of Florida DIDN'T let their voice be known? You've gotta be kidding me.

1.7 MILLION fucking voters. 300,000 vote difference between the candidates. THAT's called disenfranchisement, if you don't seat them. Your ridiculous notion that the unknown number of people who stayed home would've swayed the results somehow, is just beyond insane.
