The following quote is demonstrably false.  Try actually reading the article you conveniently don't site or refernce, Dick.

I find it ironic that people say that Gore won even though a study conducted by the New York Times and Gore himself concluded that had a full recount been conducted, Bush would have won the state by a wider margin then he did on Nov 2.

The NY Times article actually said if a state-wide recount was done Gore would have won by a wide margin under any scenario.  Only if the 3 county recount limited to under votes (hanging chads) was done would Bush win.  There were some 40,000 legal irrefutable recoverable over votes with matching write-in candidate that were specifically addressed and required to be counted by Fla. law.   Gore would have won by tens of thousands of votes, not the ficticious razor thin margin conviently certified by Bush's own campaing manager.   The gap for Gore widens under every category of the 180,000 uncounted votes considered.  The raw data of the joint media sponsored investigation is available online, or you can just read the conclusions of the sponsoring papers.

This doesn't even consider the outright illegal acts and dirty tactics, or the other voting mishaps.

It really angers me that reactionary right-wing fanatics continue to spout this lie as if it were gospel.
