You know what the difference was, though? Teams of people hand counted the ballots (remember the hanging chads?) sitting right next to each other to get a count. The final count was for Bush, but Gore kept wanting to change the standards and do recounts only in urban areas, etc. etc.
Also, after the election a full audit was done by FL and the media. The result. Bush's win was valid.
The result was a heavy push for voting reform that led to foreign made machines infecting the entire country and the building of "the largest voter fraud organization in America."
You are correct. The Help America Vote Act ended the county by county punch card machines (and other systems) that made software fraud virtually impossible.
However, I don't think that the left or the right foresaw that when they passed the law. I think it's an unintended consequence of a faulty system put into place with good will.
Soros connection to voting machines was circulating by that time already, there were most definitely bad actors pushing things in the right direction.
The real solution was to outlaw mechanical counting entirely. The more people involved in the count, the harder it is to defraud, or "error." Any action taken to reduce the number of people involved only increases the fraud potential of every individual involved, and there had to be plenty of people involved who knew that.
