I am disgusted by this -- there are a lot of crazies out there and these people don't deserve to be harassed for being involved in the process.

At this point, I just want to see what the actual vote in Florida was, and I want to see the real winner, determined by the voters, win in Florida.

This will require the courts to decide legal matters which is usually the accepted procedure. In this case, since the stakes are so high, it has become politicized -- not a good thing. There are checks and balances in the counting process and plenty of watchdogs, let's wait till they are done before elevating the fight to another level.

I don't think the legislative branch at either the State or Federal level should get involved. I also don't think that anyone should try to sway the Electors to change votes. This will cause a Constitutional crisis.

In the long-term, It does not matter who wins this election. Everything that has gone wrong this time will be corrected in '02 when Congress is redistributed.
