Nader didn't even get any electoral college votes - did he? In any case - here we are 26 years later an the dems still haven't done a single tiny iota of a thing to get rid of the electoral college and fix the court. Although being that we have an out-of-control reactionary GOP court the dems are meekly discussing possible court reform.

    He did not, and it wasn’t even close. The state he got the highest in was Alaska, at a little over 10%. In nearly every state only the candidate who gets the plurality of the popular vote gets any electoral votes.

    He did not affect the outcome of the election, the only thing that changed it was the Supreme Court illegally stealing it for Bush.
