Umm...not exactly. The facts are that Bush won the Florida vote. The Gore camp demanded a recount. The vote still went to Bush. The Gore camp demanded another recount. Finally the Florida state Attorney-General said "enough is enough" (yes, I know she's a rabid Republican conservative, but that decision is within her job description). The Gore people got the Florida State Supreme Court to overturn her decision. The Bush camp got the US Supreme Court to overturn their decision. Call names all you like, the fact is that none of the recounts came close to winning Florida for Gore.
I could just as easily state that Gore tried to steal the election, and failed. And my claim would be just as right (or no more right) as yours.
