I think if you look at the election record of the United States throughout history, you'd find our record on elections is pretty damn good. We always "get it right", even if, like in 2000, it takes some due process to achieve that.
I wouldn't lend much credence to any cries of fraud you hear about this past election.....no legitimate organizations that i've read are disputing anything, and in fact I think things went remarkably smooth. If anything, I think it might arise from shock...."There is no way Bush got reelected....something must be amiss!" > Two things amaze me about the elections in America. > > 1.
