    I don’t think it was some conspiracy to stop 3rd party voters, the fact is Bush won by ~500 votes and nader got almost 100k votes. He wasn’t remotely close to a real candidacy, but those 100k voters would have very likely not voted for Bush had nader not been on the ticket.

      If you looked at the number of registered Democrats who turned and voted for Bush in Florida that year, it’s higher than Nader’s vote total. It’s on Clinton and Gore for their “triangulation” bullshit. And the Supreme Court for helping Dubya and co. steal it.
