Imagine if Bush had relied on federal judges to steal an election.
Oh wait, never mind.
To be fair -- and I was solidly for Gore in that election and strongly regret that he lost -- the outcome in Florida simply wasn't 100% clear due to limitations of the state's voting technology. I read some studies in the aftermath of the election that suggest Gore did win, others that he didn't. But you can make a legitimate case for either outcome; it wasn't a blatant attempt to steal the election going in, which is what Trump is up to.
