The whole court battle was started by democrats, in the corrupt Florida courts. And NO ONE KNOWS who actually won the popular vote because so many are not counted i.e. absentee votes ( which generally favor republicans) are not counted when they cannot affect the outcome. Besides our system is the electoral college is the vote that counts; not the popular vote. Get over it already. I am sick of your whinning!!

Well first off, he said he was kidding, there was no whinning.
Second, as Botnst alluded to, it's not what the count ended up being, it was the process. The US Supremes stepped in and said that a state supreme court couldn't interprete state election laws.
Had the count gone on and Bush had won, no problem, had the FLA Supremes been allowed to rule on state election laws, no problem, but the way it was done was pretty shakey and not the court's proudest moment.
