I may be getting the wrong end of the stick over here, but it seems as if the system for electing a President works something like this: It appears that first of all, people have to register. That seems to mean all of the white folks and some of the others. Then they vote - meaning of course all the white folks and some of the others. Then the votes get counted - that's right - all of the white folks and some of the others. Then the person who has a million less votes is declared Mr.President! Maybe they have a different system in states other than Florida... but that's all the sense I could make of the news reports...
