BLOG 2: Did BUSH really beat Gore in 2000?

So who really won the presidential election back in 2000? Was it Bush or Gore? Gore and Bush were tied and the only state left was Florida. It was projected that Gore was to win Florida by media groups. But Bush won Florida by a 1000 votes, but since the election was so close the votes had to be recounted and it turned out that Bush had won by only 537 votes. But when Gore asked for a recount, he was denied. A few rumors about African American votes not being counted also began to appear. But was it true? We will never know since the recount was denied by the supreme court. But searching through a bunch of websites i found this interesting post which actually cleared any doubts about the election for me. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006031602170

But it only proves the fact that Bush played dirty to win the election.
