Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you supported Nader against

You're slightly wrong. Gore had Illinois sewn up so I *voted*
for the Green Party candidate hoping that the Greens could meet
the 5% threshold for inclusion on future ballots without petitions.
That didn't happen but Gore did take Illinois easily.


So you're claiming that you didn't really support Nader even though you
voted for him?


I'm claiming that I voted for the Green Party candidate. Not
only did I not expect Nader to win, I would have been appalled
had he done so. So yeah, I voted for his party but I didn't
support him.

This is all about ballot access and electoral math, feel free
to use a calculator if you're having trouble understanding the
concept.
