Claude, were the 15,000 votes invalidated in '96 in one county, or in the whole state? The 19,000 they are talking about now are in just one county, which seems awfully high to me. As for why the difference in the electoral vote and the popular vote is not getting more air play, Americans, at least the educated among us, have always known that this could happen, and so have lived with this possibility all our lives. And in fact it did happen about a hundred years ago. Many people don't like it, so maybe the current problem will eventually lead to a constitutional amendment. I have heard at least one media type mention the popular vote as possibly giving the Democrats the moral justification for pursuing the challenges to the Florida vote, although I don't happen to agree with that argument.
