Re: "Gore won the overall popular vote by more than 250,000 votes. Bush is about to become the next president on a technicality"

Dan, if Bush prevails he will win by meeting the requirements of the Constitution. The most electoral votes. If this is a technicality, then every election in the history or our country has been won on a technicality. That's what the constitution demands and that's the law. It does not require the winner be the one with the most popular votes.

Furthermore, in light of what has gone on in Florida, I don't think you can say with any certainty that Gore has won the popular vote. Not unless you do a recount of the entire country, followed by a handcount (only in the highest rated Republican districts) if Bush doesn't win, with selected voting segments thrown out because they are known to be heavily Gore, just like the Military absentee ballots were thrown out, followed by endless lawsuits. If you insist Gore has won the popular vote, you seem to be willing to accept the results of the automated ballot systems in the other 49 states. Too bad Gore doesn't feel the same way.
