    If 1% of the people who voted for Nader in Florida had voted Dem instead

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot

    It would not have mattered. The riots would have simply stated earlier in the recount process and Jeb / Katherine Harris would have tossed out a few extra boxes of ballots sooner.

    Dems were straight up robbed. They took it laying down. And that was the real end of the republican form of government, at least in Florida.
