Hanging chads were a tiny blip on the radar in the general story of the 2000 election. Trump's had 100 scandals more noteworthy than hanging chads.
SCOTUS gave the election away because of them and the entire recount situation was manufactured to make it seem like there could be no consensus.
And yet in terms of lives lost, the 2000 election going to Bush killed pretty much 8 billion people plus most megafauna. Climate change had the last laugh after all.
