The collecting of the votes because there are many(millions) voters on both sides democratic and republican is prone to both intentional and unintentional mistakes and irregulatities. It is people that are collecting votes, creating balot forms and open and close the doors for the poll posts. There are no saints between these people. The bigger the number of transactions there is going into the processing, more it is supposed to be ruled by statistical laws. So, unless there is some super cunny ability (devilish) either in the Democrats camp or Republicans camp and super stupid ability in the opposite camp so they can not see the devil , both camps are almost equally good(bad). Both camps are not saints. And this is good, beleive it or not. Because saints exists only in heavens. Everybody else who walks on the surface of the Earth is sinfull. Without any exception, every religion provides some kind of absoltioin for the sins commited to forgive people. So, given all that, I beleive, that smart people in this country realize it took $45,000,000 and 1 year to investigate president Clinton. To find out that his desire to sleep with young woman was stronger than what he has learned in school, college, family, church and also in his different jobs as a civil service employee. Pathetically, it seems that he really could not sleep with this woman in a real physical way, the one from which children could be concieved. Whatever was found, it took , I beleive, a year to come to such serious conclusion. So, how long will it take to find out all irregularities in the election process? 1 year. I would say more like 10 years. Or find out that it was really Gore or Bush personally who has dispatched the weaked advice to commit fraud? So, I beleive, what will happen is that in the final analysis because both Republicans and Democrats would not want the USA come to a standstill, the reelection will not happen. One of them will concede, and will swallow the pride. Who? Flip a coin.
