[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Omega, Yes, there can be only one, but Duncan MacLeod isn't running for president, so ... Gore can claim victory -- he did win the popular vote, and got more votes than any other Democratic nominee in recent history. You can bet he'll be back in 2004, and even your vote won't be enough to keep Dubya in office. JeffR, the ballot situation is very tricky. If it was just a matter of people reading a confusing ballot, then, even I would say, tough for Gore, no revote. BUT! Here's where it gets intereasting: the Sample Ballot was *not* the same as the actual ballot; and it is possible that it is against Florida Election law to have the arrow, or dot, or whatever were you *mark* the ballot on the left side of the candidate's name, thereby making the ballot itself illegal ... I still stand by a Federal Investigation of Florida (regardless of outcome!) ... because no one can deny that there is something *fishy* going on ... besides which, Florida itself has said (well, ok, the representatives of the state) that the election won't be certain until Sept. 17th, when the absentee ballots are counted ... this is a *very* close race, people ... I don't think it would be fair for any side to accuse the other of trying to postpone the inevitable. Although, it does make me wonder that the Governor of Florida happens to be the brother of one of the dudes who wants into the White House ... you can bet if it comes down to Bush & Gore again in '04, this'll be a major issue. Omega, regarding the posts you made earlier: would the tie-breaking vote be cast by the *current* Vice President (Al Gore), or by the VP the Senate chooses? (Or whomever chooses them)? I don't think it was that clear. [/QB][/QUOTE]
