He didnt cheat! Cheating is doing something against the law. It was completely legal. Gore would have done the same thing had he been able to. It came down to one state, and Bush won it. Gore was trying to have the voting cards that had been punched, but only had an indent in them and not a hole, counted. Thats just as dubious, if you cant even manage to punch a card right, you have no business being allowed to vote!
He used what he could within the law to win the election. EVERY politician does that. Everyone just gets their panties in a knot because they think Bush is the antichrist (which he isnt, he is far too dumb).
