Florida, where the margin of victory was a minuscule 537 votes. Almost 6 million Floridians voted in 2000. Nader, representing the Green Party, received 97,488 of those votes. So if just 1 percent of Florida-based Nader voters had made the practical decision of voting for Gore, Gore would have become president (and all of the post-election chaos would never have happened). There is just no way around this.
