4. We are fools to call the winner of the popular vote, "the Election winner"
We made that mistake in 2000, and I always worried it might bite us in ... 2004.
Gore won 2000 because he won Florida - as was demonstrated when all of the overvotes were counted by the newspaper consortium in 2001.
Kerry won in 2004, as we will demonstrate with manual recounts in Ohio.
It doesn't matter who won the popular vote. Since we are unlikely to PROVE that Bush lost the popular vote, we are only helping the Republicans by implying that the popular vote determines the true winner of the Election.
