You need to get a grip on the relavant facts. 1. Popular vote is irrelevant under the US Constitution. Bush won the electoral vote and that is how the Presidency is decided. 2. A seven member majority decided that Gore's "recounting"scheme was unconstitutional. A five member majority stopped the "recounts". Under the US Constitution, this matter was decided in Bush's favor. This does not diminish the legitimacy of the elction result but confirms it. Its the way our system works. 3. Anyone too stupid to fill out the ballot correctly forfeits his right to have his vote counted. 4. Cronyism and deception have nothing to do with it. See #1 and #2 above. You may not like the election result any more than I accept Roe v. Wade or the fact that a perjurer was allowed to occupy the WH after his guilt was firmly established. If you want change you need to work within the system to elect people who will affect those changes or work toward amendments to the Constitution accordingly. I know its hard to remember after the Clinton years, but we are a nation of laws, not men. JLA
