"If Buchanan had won Florida (ROF), would Gore be president ?"

Amendment XII

... the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

"Is it really true that Daley is the son of the guy who stuffed the ballot for Kennedy ... allegedly ?"

Hi, Nigel! As a resident of Illinois, I'll answer your question.

Yes. Bill Daley, the Gore campaign manager, is the son of Richard J. Daley, accused of voting the dead for Kennedy in 1960 in the City of Chicago. Richard Daley was also the mayor who set the police loose on anti-war demonstrators at the Democratic Convention in 1968. Al Gore, Sr. was one of few anti-war members of the U.S. Senate.

Bill's brother, Richard M. Daley, is currently the Mayor of Chicago. If Bill Daley thinks we have a high level of electoral injustice, you should listen carefully. His family has excelled in electoral injustice.

Ironies abound this year. Richard Nixon, who conceded the 1960 election without asking for a recount to which he was entitled, was elected in '68 and eventually ended the Viet Nam War. Jesse Jackson, Jr., whose father is in Florida "working for justice for the W. Palm voters", was elected 9:1 to Congress from Chicago (where concern for justice is a little less rigourous, with Jackson and Daley off fighting for truth and freedom in Florida).

Finally, people are saying that the US is afflicted by electile dysfunction. We can't get it over.

And -- there's only three kinds of election judges in Florida: those who can count and those who can't-:)

Is it cleaner in Australia?
