"President Bush was not elected by the majority" is the ignorant statement.
President Bush's win was well within the margin of error for the vote tally.
Now if you had said "President Bush may or may not have received the most
votes" it would have been an accurate statement.

(current balloting systems in use in the U.S., assuming everything goes
perfectly, have a 3% or so margin of error. Add dirty tricks and whatnot,
andthe margin of error is closer to 15%)

Ignorant? Whyfor? For actually knowing how the US election system
works, and that it's not a national popular vote, but a slightly more
complex system with the electorial college and such?
