    Florida 2000 Presidential Election results:

    • Bush: 2,912,790 (48.847%)

    • Gore: 2,912,253 (48.838%)

    • Nader: 97,488 (1.64%)

    If just 538 Nader voters had gone to Gore, representing 0.0091% of the total vote, Al Gore would have been president.

    Tiny fucking margins can change the world. Ask a bunch of dead Iraqi people if they feel like there would have been no meaningful difference between Bush and Gore.
