Oh boy, get out the tinfoil hats. What rigging, praytell? Every recount done in Florida, even by liberals using methods most favorable to Gore, show that Bush won that state.
This "popular vote" harping bullshit is sort of disturbing too, and goes to show how much the average American knows about our electoral system. We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic. Be thankful for that. I for one am glad that NY & CA don't get to determine the political plight of the rest of the country, and can look back on 9/12/01 and be glad that the popular vote didn't turn the middle east into a parking lot.
There are plenty of reasons to criticize Bush (or any politician, for that matter). Don't resort to this (s)election crap, it just makes 'ya look stupid.
