The truth is out. All methods of counting votes have a margin of error. In retrospect, we should have expected that. It was never a problem as long as one candidate won by a margin greater than the margin of error. I hope high school math teachers are making full use of this opportunity. That Bush and Gore are so close in so many states is quite amazing.

We really need some technology in the election process. We can put a man on the moon, but can't deploy undisputably safe voting processing and tools to accurately elect a president. Hysterical. Steve PS: Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment: Synopsis: It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. mtnmath.com In other words: When and how does the model of many microscopic possibilities resolve itself into a particular macroscopic state? When and how does the fog bank of microscopic possibilities transform itself to the blurred picture we have of a definite macroscopic state. That is the measurement problem and Schrodinger's cat is a simple and elegant explanations of that problem.
