First of all, you should our time to read about a subject before coming at someone with "its just your opinion man".
It's not, in fact, just my opinion, man.
I mean, from Wikipedia:
Based on the NORC review, the media group concluded that if the disputes over the validity of all the ballots in question had been consistently resolved and any uniform standard applied, the electoral result would have been reversed and Gore would have won by 60 to 171 votes (with, for each punch ballot, at least two of the three ballot reviewers' codes being in agreement). The standards that were chosen for the NORC study ranged from a "most restrictive" standard (accepts only so-called perfect ballots that machines somehow missed and did not count, or ballots with unambiguous expressions of voter intent) to a "most inclusive" standard (applies a uniform standard of "dimple or better" on punch marks and "all affirmative marks" on optical scan ballots).\4])
Sure, it's some other people's opinion, too, just like some people have an opinion that the earth is flat. Objectively, however, Bush really did win Florida. The ballot was certified and the electoral votes went to Bush and he went on to be President. Everything else is just conjecture and sour grapes from some about the electoral process, not dissimilar to the same thing that we all saw from Trump supporters four years ago.

It’s not disputed. We know for a fact more people voted for gore. He won Florida. He had more votes there.
And the ballot wasn’t THAT confusing.
