"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. Steve Swartz (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%) "Øystein Tvedten" wrote in message ... Alan Minyard writes: Ignorant fool. PLONK Al Minyard 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? Øystein -- Roy Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. |
