If you do a web search you'll see reports of between 200,000 to
500,000
popular votes favoring Gore and of course an argument of what that
really
means.

Considering that an estimate 800K to 1.2M illegal aliens voted in the 2000
election, those numbers are dubious. And that's not to mention the several
states that had very quesionable vote totals...that all got lost in the
Florida flare-up.

Do you have a reference for those numbers? I would believe some, but that
is awfully large.

Well, then let's talk about the flawed voter roll purges that occured in
both Texas and Florida.

Or the shenanigans in Tennessee

Plenty of dirt to go around.

But .... the original assertion was that an overwhelming number of Americans
voted for Bush.
Simply visit http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm and look at the
tabular data, you'll see the results.
Consider the Nader votes anti-Bush and Buchanan anti-Gore, add up the other
candidates if you like in a similar fashion. Nowhere near overwhelming and
the results seem to slightly favor Gore.
