Ruth Bader Ginsburg reveals the 'most disappointing' Supreme Court decision of her career

19. excellent point. people forget that republicans had other ways of stealing the election.

republicans controlled the florida legislature and governorship. they or the supreme court could have invalidated their election entirely, which would have thrown the decision into the u.s. house of representatives, which was also controlled by republicans.

shrub might have won that way anyway.

never mind that had the counting continued, it's still possible that some legal challenge at the county level might have been enough to give shrub the win.

the new york times eventually determined that in the vast majority of cases where all the votes are counted, gore would have won, but legal challenges might have been enough to alter this result.
