Exactly! We're in the "noise" level of democracy, and Gore knows that ballot counting at this level is indeed "fuzzy". New Mexico switches from Gore by 7000 to Bush by 17, for example.

Well, it's unfortunate that some people may have been confused by the butterfly ballot, with its very large letters made especially for the elderly citizens of Palm Beach County. It's also unfortunate that some people in the heavily Republican panhandle decided not to vote after they heard CNN announce that their votes wouldn't matter in this election because CNN projected a victory for Gore in Florida!

Statistical noise can be used in many, many ways. For Gore to be using it to take the presidency is disgusting. Nixon in 1960, Ford in 1976, Ashcroft in 2000 losing to a dead man... Somehow, it seems that only the Republicans put the nation ahead of personal ambition.
