What if Puerto Rico had not voted for statehood in 1993? Then President Gore would have lost the 2000 election. What kind of president would George W. Bush have been? As governor he had a record of working accross party lines. ITTL be like John Quincy Adams and Rutherford B Hayes would have faced an opposition angry over being robbed. The recount in Florida inspired litigation that went all the way to the Supreme Court. OTL the five unelected conservative Justice reduced President Gore's electoral college margin. ITTL they would have put George W Bush, the popular vote loser, in the White House. Most of the Democratic base would have considered Gore the legitimate president. He could have easily won the nomination in 2004. Who would have won the rematch of 2004?
