"Delaying actions by the Democrats"? The current count for President of the United States of America for the next four years is down to just 327 individual votes in one decisive state, with this being non-official by the state, and hardly even complete by virtue of a week's worth of absentee votes still being outstanding (hundreds or potentially thousands of votes). There is also legitimate question I believe regarding the legality of a particular county's ballet based on Florida's own state laws and standing ballot design regulations. This state has further shown they have can have some trouble counting accurately as evidenced by a marked difference of some 1,457 votes the first time they did it and the second time. Typically when you and I get different results when we count something twice, we simply count a third time to corroborate either our first or our second result. Lastly, there were several thousands of votes recently found that the machines could not process because of holes not punched all the way through, so these must be counted by hand. In any event, I think it is extremely important to get it right - for WHOEVER wins - so that the candidate and his victory will have the legitimacy, backing and confidence of the country at large, and not "win the battle but lose the war"... This includes potential recounts or inquiries in other close states if they are in question for whatever reason. So while I (like everyone else) think what we're going through is unpleasant and unsatisfying, IMO we are being delayed at present strictly by the historically unprecedented level of closeness of this race and its election results, rather than anything else. And although I respect your opinions on CCUR and QQQ, I vote going forward we leave personal politics out of it...

Sam and all, This is not a political thread, and I'd rather not turn it into one. However, with respect to your class action lawsuit remark, do you think that THE PEOPLE of Florida have the inalienable right to vote and have their votes officially counted before some party bosses start claiming victory or before some media moguls jump to be first with results? Let's be reasonable. If the American markets tank because its citizens seek to exercise their rights, well then we are living in truly sad times. regards to longs and thanks to the Founding Fathers, -Lk
