So who has the greater number of votes cast in their favour? Bush or
Gore?

That would only be relevant if the popular vote determined who got
to be president.

You know full well thats not how the system works.
Algore could have lost 49 states by oh say a number just larger
than the margin of error, won Kalifornia by a lanslide and lost
the election notwithstanding that he might have a majority or
plurality of the popular vote.

And-uh note that this is not the first time a President did not
win the popular vote.

The big question is why we talk about the popular vote as if it's actually
fully counted.
