In 2004, George W. Bush won reelection by a popular margin of millions of votes, including a 300,000 vote (5%) victory in the State of Florida where the outcome had been so close in 2000.  Democratic candidate [[John Kerry]] quickly conceded defeat the day after the election.

For many months after John Kerry conceded the outcome of the 2004 election to George W. Bush, some liberals continued to claim that the election had somehow been stolen by voter fraud.  When Al Gore went on a speaking tour in 2006 to promote government controls over industry in the name of [[global warming]], many liberal fans greeted him with the belief that he had actually won the election in 2000.
