No, he didn't have much choice at all. I'm more angry at the Senate.
Was Lott the Senate Majority leader at that time? If so, ew, but Gore still should have put up more of a fight for the awful precedent it set and the lingering bad feelings it left. I'm frankly still boggled by the "we can't count the votes and find out the truth, it would take too long" argument.
