2. If Gore won the election but lost the popular vote, would he really step down?
3. Why does Gore think Americans would not want to go back to the times of Ronald Reagan?
4. Is Al Gore the same person who invented the internet?
5. Isn't the electoral college system fair now?

I do not think the electoral college needs to be reformed, the system now is fair and doing away with it would be unnecessary. I am also thankful for the electoral college because it made sure we didn't have Al Gore as president and that would have been a true nightmare.
