90,000 voters who voted for Nader would have most likely gone for Al Gore if the election was between George W. Bush and Al Gore alone. This year serves as a historical example of how important every American's vote really is. When only a few hundred votes separate who will and who will not be the president over the next four years, one can truly see the significance of one vote amongst millions of others. I believe that Al Gore did not win decisively because of the factors that contributed to him losing small amounts of votes throughout the campaign. Perhaps the media influenced some voters to change their votes to Bush or Nader. It is possible that Nader alone is responsible for spoiling Al Gore's victory. Regardless, it is difficult to pinpoint a winner when one candidate wins the popular vote and the other takes the electoral vote. I believe that after this election, the American people will recognize the need to go to the polls and choose their leader.Works CitedCNN.com. November 2000. Cable News Network.
