Even then they wouldn't have but they squashed a recount that would have given the election to Gore.
The thousands of voters they purged from the role was voter fraud, Gore wouldn't have needed a recount if the republicans hadn't fixed the the electoral roll in favour of the republicans.
You send election scrutineers around the world to oversee their electoral fairness, but forget to do it at home.
This oversight plunged the world into eight years of darkness, and destroyed America's credibility and economy.

Aside from being wrong in almost every respect, you do have the nugget of a point: The voting was so inconsistent that the Supreme Court ruled that a total recount of the entire state, by hand, was necessary. the Democrat Party believed that a full recount would favor the Repos which was not the outcome they wished. The Democrats wanted a partial recount of only those districts that favored the Democrat Party candidate.
You did stumble over a significant point but failed to address it: If there actually had been voter fraud it wouldn't have taken thousands of votes but only a few hundred. Which goes to proper identification since so few votes were what decided the election.
In my opinion, the vote should have gone to the House of Representatives, per the constitution. But the Repos, as always, were too cowardly and hid behind the the court.
