71. Al Gore's White House claim is much stronger

Had all of the uncounted votes been counted as Florida election law required, there would be no electoral college issue because Al Gore got the most votes in Florida so he won both the electoral college and nationally. That wasn't the case with Hilary in 2016. She won nationally but not in the electoral college.
