Hillary, in the sunshine state drumming up support, said: 

“In Florida, you learned the hard way what happens when your votes aren’t counted and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner,” she said. “The lesson of 2000 here in Florida is crystal clear: if any votes aren’t count, the will of the people isn’t realized and our democracy is diminished.”

Fact: all the votes were counted, then recounted, then re-recounted. Bush still won. After all the media recount studies: Bush still won.

If Democracy was diminished, it was by Al Gore’s petulant refusal to accept the outcome and drag things into the courts. Richard Nixon, facing a likely stolen election in 1960, had the class to drop the matter for the good of the nation.
