I heard on right wing radio the other day that 6-7 million people illegally voted in the 2012 election...

Don't be on the level of them, or the liberals who don't believe Bush actually won Florida.

Yes...because these claims are totally equally ridiculous. It's not as if one has zero backing and is simply racist propaganda, whereas the other one invokes a complicated scenario involving several unresolved disputes surrounding a poorly designed ballot, voting machine malfunctions in the poorest most Democratic towns, a voter purge aimed at African Americans, and various hanging chad. Nope it's not like that at all, great analogy ElectionsGuy!

So you think Gore won Florida? Grin

That's not the point. I'm saying that putting those two theories on the same level is ridiculous, whether you believe Gore won Florida or not.

As for whether I think Gore won Florida, that really depends on what standards you use. Just the hanging chads probably wouldn't have flipped it to Gore, but if you were to fix for the machines and the Butterfly Ballot, then yeah, he probably would have won. And if the voter purge hadn't happened, it wouldn't have even been that close.
