Mandate? With less than 2% margin of the TOTAL votes cast? Here's totals
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 08:03 PM by LaPera
Even with the absolute massive voter fraud from coast to coast.

Here are the total numbers and the total for Kerry and the cadidates people voted for, who voted against Bush's being elected!

All totaled, less than a 2% margin of the total votes cast, voted more for Bush. Hardly a Mandate!


Bush Rep 59,834,866

Kerry Dem 56,373,514
Nader Ind 406,940
Badnarik Ind 384,174
Peroutka AIP 132,054
Cobb DCG 107,400
Peltier PFP 21,616
Brown Ind 10,283
Harris Ind 6,962
Calero Ind 4,445
Others & Write-in 36,634

1. Then when bush* starts using the word mandate, democrats in the
house and congress better start pointing that simple fact out. Including the part about the election being rigged.

14. Tough does not even begin to describe it. And I've stated over and over
again, you know what drove Nebraska out of the Democratic Party and into the Republican Party? The Civil Rights Act and the Equal Rights Amendment. Check it out, you'll find that what I'm saying is true. This state voted heavy for Kennedy, but when the idea of equal rights for everyone came out, these people here ran for the republicans and never changed. Never will.

I was born here. I always wanted to leave. I did a couple of times, once to Wyoming when I was young, once to Alaska during my first marriage. I never wanted to leave there. I don't suppose it's like I remember it, but it sure as hell has to be a damn sight better than here.

All my progressive friends, the strongest and most vocal, are gone. But I was born here, I'll unfortunately probably die here. But until they start shoveling on the dirt, I'll damn well do and say what I know to be right. It's the ignorance that's mind numbing and a drain on the spirit.

6. About 51% to 49%
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 08:16 PM by LaPera
With a bit more than 112 million votes cast and Bush's total was a little more than 2 million votes, more than those who did not vote for Bush.

What's the actual percentage???

7. Yeah, but that's not what your initial post says
It says with less than 2% of total votes. The only people that would apply to are Nader, Badnarik, etc
