Nobody really knows who 'won' Florida. A big problem with the recount was discerning who people voted for because the ballots themselves where confusing. There was a suspiciously high number of votes for Ralph Nader, the 3rd party candidate, who was positioned just under Al Gore on the ballot. The theory is many people accidentally voted for him, thus Al Gore should have won, but how can you ever know that?
If it had gone the other way Bush could have seen himself cheated as well.

So Trump's claim during this election that the system is "Rigged", the electoral system in America certainly is vulnerable to rigging, because of the State by State management of it.

That also makes it harder to rig. Too many people would have to be in on it including both parties. Trump is saying it's rigged because it stokes anger in his base.

More voters this year are looking for a strong leader than in previous presidential elections, according to an early morning exit poll, whose results could shift significantly over the course of Election Day.

That would bode well for Trump
