Gore.  In recounts after the inaugration, if there had been a statewide recount, Gore would have won.

Where do you get this information from?  The recounts done by the NY Times (hardly a bastion of Republicanism) showed Bush the winner under the various counting methodologies.

If you want to argue that more people intended to vote for Gore, but messed up and lost their vote, that could be true, though it is probably offset by the fact that the networks called the election for Gore while the panhandle was still voting.

The bottom line is that more people voted properly for Bush.
