2000 Bush-Gore decision interfered with states' rights

Kerry should have used campaign funds to fight Ohio fraud
O'Reilly said Kerry mishandled contributions to his presidential campaign--including $2,000 O'Reilly donated [as part of $15M in funds left at the end of the campaign]. O'Reilly said Kerry should have used money in his account to challenge the results in
Ohio, the state whose electoral college votes put George W. Bush ahead. There were allegations of voter fraud in Ohio. Instead, O'Reilly said, Kerry is using the money left from his presidential bid to help fund his re-election campaign.
