I'm sorry. I guess ABC had their facts wrong then because they mentioned in a few times that Gore won the popular vote.
Gore did win the overall popular vote in 2000
George W. Bush - 50,456,002
Albert A. Gore - 50,999,897
Ralph Nader - 2,882,955
Bush won the popular vote in Florida by 537 votes, which gave him enough Electoral votes to get elected.
