23. Gore actually did offer a full count in a prime time speech
Fri Jan 3, 2025, 01:55 PM
Friday

during the Florida dispute. He offered to stop the lawsuits his campaign had filed under Florida election law if Bush would agree to count all of the uncounted Florida votes. It was Bush who refused to do so because he knew he would lose if all of the uncounted votes were counted. Bus was well aware that the uncounted votes were located in the largest and most heavily democratic voting counties in Florida. Bush was a total coward who could not accept the will of the people. Then he ran to his father's repug cronies on the repug controlled SCOTUS who stopped the legal Florida vote count in order to install Bush and kill American democracy. Let's also not forget the all out war that the pro Bush/rpro repug media waged against Al Gore either while they portrayed Bush as do no wrong BTW, 15 of my 24 years spent working on dem election campaigns were spent in Florida. It's women and the environment who are now paying the highest price. for what Bush and the repug controlled SCOTUS did in Florida in 2000.
