1. When the Democrats demanded a recount, a recount was had. And another. And another. And another.
2. Finally, Florida's Attorney General said enough was enough. Whether you think that was right; whether you think it was politically motivated; that was part of her job and her prerogative.
3. The Gore camp went to the Florida State Supreme Court and they overturned her decision.
4. The Bush Camp then went to the US Supreme Court and they in turn overturned the Florida Court's ruling.
The point is that you can argue that any of those decisions was political or legitimate. What is downright silly is claiming that Bush "stole" the election. It is just as valid to argue that Bush was ahead, the Attorney General was correct in her action, and that Gore attempted to use the State Court to steal the election.
Unless you can actually show impropriety on the part of the Supreme Court, claiming "theft" shows a lack of understanding of how the system works.
