Also as I remember how this was to work, the Electorial College Vote is the official vote. Although both votes should agree, but it does not always work that way.

Are there really still folks out there who think that Gore got fewer votes than Bush? Puleez! And those are the rough totals! Remember those hanging chads! It isn't the volume of votes that elects the president, as we know. It's the volume in certain key states that does the trick. Remember that good old Electoral College? Ick! I guess it's no mystery who got my vote! Or at least, I assume he got it!

Actually that's quite interesting. According to your government 50,456,002 people voted for Bush and 50,999,897 voted for Gore. Isn't democracy wonderful! P.
