      Gore received 540+k more individual votes than Bush did, but he lost in the electoral vote.

      People’s votes are not weighed equally for the presidency, so that ‘more’ has a lot of work to do, unfortunately. Given the electoral college system for presidential elections that sentiment has to be qualified with “in the right places/districts”.

      Which is exemplary of the case that led to Bush v Gore deciding the election.
