Ah yes, the Brooks Brothers Riot. The astroturf that changed history. https://www.thenation.com/article/po...brothers-riot/

Actually, objective studies in the years afterward show that Gore won. The problem was that the Ds only wanted to recount 4 counties instead of the entire state of Fl, if they had gone for a whole state recount Gore would have won.

Then there's the whole Pat Buchanan butterfly ballot mess, where he got roughly 2,000 votes in a highly Democrat county: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty...county-florida https://www.jstor.org/stable/3182766
