election stats

Here's something notable: Bush got roughly 59,244,977 votes, and Kerry got 55,709,633. In the 2000 election, Gore got roughly 50,999,897 votes, and Bush got 50,456,002.

So, not only does Bush have bragging rights for getting the highest number of votes of any President (though percentagewise Nixon still wins), but Kerry actually got more votes in 04 than either Bush or Gore did in 2000.

Now *that's* meaningless. But interesting.
