When the difference in the popoular vote is less than the accuracy of the vote count

When the number of ballots requiring interpretation exceeds the number of votes separating the candidates, determining who won is no longer a matter of investigation. It's a matter of interpretation.

He who has the best lawyers, wins.

Look at all the crisis this country has been put through the past 10 years under the DUMBOCRATES. And it is true, whoever has the best lawyers and the partisan judges wins. Is there any justice anymore? Are you as disgusted as I am with the leaders of this country?

I liked the part where Gore has an exact count of the ballots that were never counted. Neat trick! If Gore gets to claim all ballots where no vote for president was cast, he will win. And apparently he will keep suing until he can do this and get away with it. Because this is "the will of the people" whether they knew it or not, and anything else is to allow the election to be stolen by Bush, whose only claim to victory is having more real votes cast for him, and *nothing else*. Why, the very idea.

Well noted Flint. We (Riverside County, CA.) got on network news for using puter screen voting. Still, from what I've learned about vote counting I have no idea whether my vote was counted or not.
