New Count Shows Bush May Have Won Popular Vote

© 2000

Despite the widely accepted claim that Al Gore won the popular vote by some 300,000 votes, a new count of state totals appears to show George Bush was the real winner by nearly 2 million votes. According to respected news analyst Mary Mostert, a report sent to her by reader Don Boyd showed that Gore got a total of 50,753,172 votes nationwide while Bush got 52,685,804 giving him a winning margin of 1,932,632.

Wrote Mostert "While I have not checked all 50 states with the Secretary of State official returns, I have checked all the big states and a number of the smaller states. All the ones I have checked are accurate, or modified very slightly with late absentee ballots, which tilted towards George W. Bush. For those who want to personally check these figures, go to the "Original Source" which has all the election information by state. Nearly all the states now have their OFFICIAL, returns posted.

"These figures were reportedly obtained from the Office of the Secretary of State from each state but haven't been confirmed. Where are Al Gore's cheer leaders known as the news media?”

Bush Wins BY: 1,932,632

Can we now expect the media which is busy counting votes in Florida to take a look at these figures and report the results should they prove that Gore lost the popular vote by nearly two million votes?

So there I was, wondering just how we had morphed from a Y2k forum to a forum on spurious vote totals ...

I started doublechecking the state sites linked from www.originalsources.com. On just the second page of the Alabama site that I browsed (www.sos.state.al.us/election/index.cfm) something seemed ... odd. But what? Hmmm ...

Finally, I realized that my peripheral vision had caught the fine print at the bottom:
