A lie is always a lie when it's CNN: Election 2000 info. Scrubbed?
Edited on Fri Feb-13-04 03:06 PM by JCMach1
Take a look at the election 2000 data still reported on CNN

PRESIDENT DEC. 13 100% of precincts
Candidates Votes Vote % States Won EV
Bush
2,909,176 49 % 29 0
Gore
2,907,451 49 % 20 0
Nader
96,837 2 % 0 0
Browne
18,856 0 % 0 0
Buchanan
17,356 0 % 0 0
Phillips
4,280 0 % 0 0
Hagelin
2,287 0 % 0 0


It still has Bush winning the popular vote by the wrong number.

Disinformation and journalism at its finest.

I noticed this when looking for something else.

1. I just don't think they went back....
and updated it. Those look like the election-night results and prior to the first recount and certification.
