23. Loaded question, isn't it?
What was done to Gore involved faulty lists of improperly disenfranchised voters, probable fraud, and any number of others things. It had little to do with a simple electoral vote loss. Just like what happened to Gore? It isn't even close to what happened to Gore.

It's always been a delegate race and the Presidency has always been about the electoral vote, given no fraud that's the way the system is set up to work and it has happened in the past with little controversy. It would be fair enough to debate if we should change the system for next time, but to change the rules mid race just because it suits our cause at the moment? No. If we did that we'd be no better than anyone else. Finish the campaign with the same rules we started it with. Try to push through changes for next time if they are needed and get them done before that race starts.
