98% of EVERYONE involved in the politics of this, and 98.762% of everyone posting here about it(yeah, me too) are looking at their preferred outcome/resolution and picking & choosing arguments that will support it. It is logical Gerrymandering...it is related to throwing the dart, then drawing the bullseye. It is seldom about what is fairest and most reasonable....or even what the law 'actually' allows/requires.

In the end, it will come down to who has the most leverage and philosophical representation on some court or in some governmental body. At this point, I expect Bush will squeak by and we will never know who won. What we have seen is, that under current voting & counting procedures, it is almost impossible to count a large number of votes accurately, and thus very close elections are decided by manuevering, not precise numbers.

But...what the hell...*grin*,...it's the American way, and we'll all get by.
