Right, except for the "lost the election" part. The vote re-counters in Florida continued counting for the hell of it even once the Supreme Court told them the results would be ignored. They determined that even after the recount, Bush did in fact win Florida.
He did not receive a majority of the
popular vote, to be sure, but that is not how our election system works. He is not the first president to win with less of the popular vote than his opponent.
But don't feel bad, most of the American media ignored that part of the story too.
