> Gore would likely have won had it continued

Isn’t this the exact line the trumpers put out? I hate to be a both sides guy but seriously both sides sound ridiculous when they say stuff like this.

The difference is that it never stopped, confirmed the first results, and had no credible evidence suggesting problems. There was nothing like the hanging chads, and certainly not on the scale needed to flip the results.

Yes. The difference here is that in 2020, the counting did continue, and Trump was so far behind that there was no mathematical trickery that one could do to fix it, especially because he would have needed to overturn elections in several states to get to the required electoral college count.
