Population of counties won by Gore 127 million, won by Bush 143 million
Sq. miles of country won by Gore 580,000, won by Bush 2,427,000
States won by Gore 19, by Bush 29
Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore 13.2 by Bush 2.1 (not a typo)
Professor Olson adds, "And may I add that the map of the territory Bush won was (mostly) the land owned by the people of this great country.
Not the citizens living in cities owned by the government and living
off the government....

Which proves that? The American election system doesn't work? Or that statistics, as you yourself so many times have pointed out MagiK, really doesn't show anything?
