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.
Yes, it was Lott - IIRC, the Democrats won control of the Senate in 2000, but of course, this would have been the lame duck Senate.
And I know many have given Nixon and the ballot-stuffing in Chicago in 1960 as an excuse for Florida, but I can't see using a past wrong to make a right forty years later.
