Uh...he did; official federal government records show this.
See the line that reads "TOTALS" at the bottom of the table at
http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/electoral_college/popular_vote_
2000.html
(This is from the U.S. National Archives & Records Administration)
Gore: 50,996,582
Bush: 50,456,062
Gore received 540,520 more votes from the citizens of the US than the
current resident of the White House. Unfortunately, the votes were
spread out into states that didn't carry enough Electoral votes to get
the popularly-elected candidate into office.
