However, Gore did win the popular vote nationwide by 547,398 total. He was the first person to win the popular but lose the Electoral College since Grover Cleveland in 1888. The Democrats got salty about it, but they didn't fully lose their minds until Bush won re-election in 2004 by 3 million votes. And he won FL by a solid 5% in 2004, just to rub it in their face. (More fun trivia here.)
Kinda why I want Trump to not just win 2020, but win in a popular landslide over a token "D" candidate, and watching all those states trying to rig the EC have to hypocritically walk back all that brave talk about how the "will of the people" is more important than the EC and quickly come up with reasons so they don't have to do what they pledged after all..... because it's not okay when it happens to US!
