If Gore had called for a statewide recount, he still would have lost, but it's better then cheating.

Probably, but if all eligible voters had been able to vote and have their votes counted as intended, then Gore very likely would have won.

(Not that there even needs to be massive fraud for that to be true when the margin is only 500 votes...)

It may very well have been the case that more Gore voters fouled their ballots than Bush supporters. They have noone to blame but themselves.

Not talking about spoiled ballots (although there's still an argument to be made that poorer counties (DEM counties) used voting equipment that leads to more spoiled ballots on average).

Although again, the spoiled ballots aren't the important issue in Florida in 2000.
