But this isn't really about sides -- it doesn't matter how incompetent the sides approving the ballots were. The whole point of the exercise is to figure out the will of the people and use that to decide the electoral college votes. So right now the question is whether the will of the people was accurately represented so that the electoral college votes could get to the correct candidate. If a majority of those 19,000 votes really were meant for Gore, that would plain suck if the incompetence of the election officials is what gets a guy who is not the popular choice or the electoral choice in there. But, I think Gore should let Bush go in -- it would end up being a one term Presidency anyway (with a divided house and senate, not much is going to happen) and Gore would be the leading democratic candidate next time as well as one hell of a shadow president ("I told you so! Elect me next time and I'll fix it!" :) ) since he won the popular vote this time most probably and so this isn't like Michael Dukakis or Walter Mondale. The guy won most probably except for some technical hitches . . . and he'd sound more statesmanlike. And Americans like a good sport. -Atin
