    Nope, but you’d have to be fooling yourself if you thought, the people at the Nader rallies were down with Bush. If Nader wasn’t on the ballot, those votes were going to be Gore, people who declined state, or people writing in candidates out of protest.

    Gore needed less than 1% of Naders voters. The odds would’ve have clearly been in his favor.

      you can’t prove a counter factual. In a world where Nader isn’t on the ballot, you don’t know who the dem nominee was either.
