JW - Whats all the fuss about? The election process is doing precisely what it is supposed to do in a close election. The only "Duhs" are the people who want or expect the result to be known before all the votes are counted. I know of no election process that can announce a winner until the all the votes have been counted. Recounts can go on all week since nothing can happen till the absentee ballots have been counted and that cannot happen until 10 days after the election. So whats the fuss? Monday week there will be certified results. Best regards, L

Well as Freeman Dyson says in his wonderful classic little book, Origins of Life, life must be sloppy and able to tolerate error. We tend to think of it or imagine it to be this precise thing (as in DNA) but actually there is a high error (and repair rate). So I think we have to expect any system to be imperfect too.

Pundits of all sorts have been floating that proposition, but it makes a hash of history. Nixon was not noble; he was realistic. . .
