[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1968 - GOP conspires to scuttle the peace negotiations to end the Vietnam War. Nixon wins election.

1980 - GOP interferes with Iranian Hostage negotiations, Reagan wins the presidency.

2000 - Al Gore wins florida, but a GOP controlled Supreme Court and the "Brooks Brothers" riots instigated by GOP operative Roger Stone throws the election to George W Bush.

2016 - Russian interference in the US Election helps throw the election to Donald Trump. Other countries such as China and Egypt are also involved.

2020 - Trump tries to get Ukraine to aid reelection bid.

Face it, the GOP hasn't had a legitimate election win since 1988, and even then, with Iran-Contra it was not fully sound.[/quote]

The final count showed that Bush won in 2000.  Are you an election denier?[/quote]

nope

[i]the study also found that Gore probably would have won, by a range of 42 to 171 votes out of 6 million cast, had there been a broad recount of all disputed ballots statewide. However, Gore never asked for such a recount. [/i][/quote]

Wrong.  Bush won the state by 537 votes.  No sense election denying it.[/quote]
PP has the citation. You have the rioting Republicans. [/quote]

My cite is the duly certified results.  If you deny them, then just say so.[/quote]

You're forgetting the Supreme Court role (and many of the lawyers--I forget who--who Roger Stone herded to Florida to do battle for Bush and who included John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
Sandra O'Connor was not just the swing vote in Bush vs Gore, she provided a 4 page legal analysis supporting Bush even before arguments were heard. She ignored the conflict of interest between the Florida SOS--who also co-chaired the Bush campaign in Florida. And it was her own husband who told the story--widely reported--that the initial announcement of Gore winning upset her because it messed up her plans for retirement: she'd have to stick around four more years at least to keep Gore from appointing her replacement.

To her credit, she later deeply regretted her decision. She thought GW would be like GHW and was horrified by the turns the GOP took after 2000.

"Bush stole the election" was a common phrase back then (but nobody stormed the Capitol). I used to respond by saying "no, he bought it fair and square." [/quote]
