WI: Dubya Bush's DUI didn't come out

What if Dubya's DUI was never revealed to the public?

Probably would have beat Gore in 2000, it was pretty close.

Maybe he wins the popular vote? Though I don’t know if that’s enough. There might be less controversy over Florida.

Would Florida be the only state that flips, or were there other states that the DUI cost Bush?

New Mexico, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Oregon were all less than 1% for Gore. If my math is correct, that means Bush gets an additional 30 electoral college votes if all of them go for him.

In that case, Dubya is seen to have won fair and square. Instead of blaming Nader and the Supreme Court, liberals blame Gore for blowing an election that should've been his.
