Here are some interesting numbers about the 2000 election courtesy of MoveOn.org:
Official Bush margin in Florida: 537 votes
Gore margin in New Mexico: 365 votes
Margin of victory in IA, NH, OR and WI: Fewer than 8,000 votes in each
Eligible 18-24 year olds who didn’t vote: 15.2 million
Total eligible voters who didn’t vote: 56.8 million
Based on the campaign so far, 2004’s results might be even closer than the resutls in 2000. It’s scary that the margin might be that small…
