Gore conceded the night (early morning hours to be accurate) of the election. He called Bush and congratulated him.
Later as the vote became so close he retracted the concession. Because the vote was so close, a mandatory (by machine) recount was required, and in this process Gore gain several votes and the difference separating them was less than 300 votes. He then asked to have a hand count done in four counties which was allowed by Florida law.
It was at that point the Supreme Court stepped in and put and end to the recount.
Gore then conceded a second time.
It is not exactly the same...calling a vote rigged before a single vote is counted is not at all the same thing.
You are trying to alter history.
Ok it's not exactly the same. But here's some more times democrats talked about rigged elections.
1. 2000: Al Gore and the Florida recount. Yes, Gore eventually accepted the result — but only after withdrawing his concession, trying to have the vote recounted only in Democrat-heavy Florida counties, and suing to stop ballots from being recounted. Even after a consortium of media outlets concluded that George W. Bush had indeed won more votes in Florida, Democrats continued to claim the election had been “stolen” by the Supreme Court and Bush was an illegitimate president.
2. 2004: John Kerry and “rigged” machines. While Kerry conceded the election, he and his running mate continued to believe afterwards that the election had been stolen from them, possibly by voting machines. Elizabeth Edwards
said in 2007 that she had been “very disappointed” in Kerry’s decision to concede the election. And last year the
New Yorker reported that Kerry believed “proxies for Bush had rigged many voting machines” in Ohio, and that he may in fact have won the election.
3. 2008: John Podesta and Obama’s voter fraud. As the
Wall Street Journalpointed out recently, President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have suggested that voter ID laws are a way of rigging elections against black people. And while they downplay fears of voter fraud, Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta
reported internally (via Wikileaks) in 2015 that Clinton operatives believed that “the Obama forces flooded the caucuses with ineligible voters” to win the primary.
4.
2014: Congress and a “rigged” district system. Thanks to the Tea Party wave election in 2010 in response to Obamacare, Republicans were left in charge of many state legislatures as they redrew congressional district boundaries. Except in a few states — such as Illinois, where Democrats drew several Republicans out of their seats — that meant Republicans held the advantage in the House. As a result, Democrats
complained bitterlythat congressional elections
were “rigged” against them.
5. 2016: Bernie Sanders and a “rigged” primary. Sanders uses the word “rigged” often to describe the economic system. But in 2016, the Democratic Party primary was rigged against him in a political sense — both openly, in the party’s anti-democratic super delegate system, and secretly, through collusion between party officials and the Clinton campaign. Sanders supporters
protested at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia against what they called a “rigged” election.
