Ted, <The FLA electoral system was flawed and corrupted.>

Flawed, yes. Corrupted, no. The latter is yet another conspiracy theory.

Last weekend, the N.Y. Giants blew a 24-point lead, and that allowed one bad call to decide the entire game. Likewise, Gore blew all of the advantages he had in 2000, even failing to carry his home state of Tennessee. That allowed the election to be decided by a bunch of "pregnant chads."

Tench pretty much answered this already.

"Flawed, yes. Corrupted, no. The latter is yet another conspiracy theory."

I doubt corruption was zero but it was probably less then many other states and a lot of it was in Gore's favor. Actually even the flaws were probably not the worst in the country they just mattered more in such a close election.
