Dolinar, Re: it was the chads in the FL voting machines Actually, in the final analysis, that was a diversion and a side show. The Department of Justice has finally commenced a lawsuit to get at the bottom of the scheme by Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris to disenfranchise thousands of African-American voters by scrubbing the voters lists and "mistakenly" eliminating voter who were cross-referenced as "felons". Thousands of people were illegitimately stripped of their rights this way. Of course, in the immediate aftermath of the election, the only news of this was on BBC's Newnight. It was effectively suppressed in the U.S. The other factor, which is getting quite an examination is the spoiler role that Ralph Nader played. He got 95,000 votes in Florida. Way more than enough to put Gore over the top. Today, Nader's Green Party is attempting to aid the Republicans once again by fielding a spoiler in the Minnesota Senatorial race, where Nader apparently is in cahoots with the Republicans, trying to unseat Paul Wellstone, one of the greenest Progressives in the Senate. Nader ought to be ashamed of himself. He's a damn hypocrite and our modern day "Benedict Arnold". -Ray
