"will of the people"

It's a Pandoras box, Blisenko. What was the "will of the people" in the pan handle by potential voters (in line at polls who turned away, in traffic on there way to them who went home, at home who decided not to go etc.), the rest of Florida, or the rest of the country, when the state was called, prematurely by the media. What was the sober will of some of the homeless who were given packs of smokes and ushered to the voting booth for their vote. Was that fair, was that right or legal, and how far should it and we go?

They willfully accepted the ballot before the election according to Florida law (as best as I understand it), voted, and thereby reflected their will on Nov. 7th (imperfectly as it may be; as in other areas of the country). It can go on and on down THAT slope. For our Nation's sake, let's don't.
