Bush got the most votes? Oh, please... he did not, not in the country and not in Florida... if they'd done that recount as Gore wanted he would have ended up the victor because more people in Florida voted for Gore than Bush. The Supreme Court didn't want that so they appointed the loser to "win".
They did multiple recounts. Bush won by roughly 600 votes, thus winning the state, and the single electoral vote he needed to get in office.
Maybe if those dimpled chad things were counted, maybe Gore would have won. Blame the Miami-Dade voters for being too stupid to correctly operate a punch card. As it stands, ballots with multiple selections are void. The state Supreme Court only validated the results.
