Hmm, Lucius. I assume you don't agree, then, with the opinions of the courts (to date) in Florida?

Do you realize, Lucius, that if the popular vote in this country deteminded who will be president, that we would probably have a replay of what has happened in Florida, in every state in the union during every future election? We could have an election that lasts for four years, probably.

You folks still have a chance. Don't give up yet. Al certainly won't. I assume your best chance for getting your guy into the White House is the court case charging that the Republicans skewed the election by adding registration numbers to the applications for absentee ballots in one of the counties in Florida. They didn't tamper with the ballots themselves, of course, just the applications for a ballot (and everyone knows that could seriously impair the judgement of the voter, right?). If the Judge rules against Bush, in that case, your guy has the election.

But what happens then, to the hue and cry for all ballots to be counted? Nine thousand or so votes would be voided due to the stupidity of the election officials and the Republicans that added registration numbers to the applications. The voters will have done nothing wrong, but their votes will still be voided.

So, do the Democrats want every vote counted, as they have been screaming about for the past two or three weeks, or do they just want to win an election, regardless of what it takes to win it?
