So far Bush has lost the popular vote and is is losing in the electoral vote
count by 14.
As everyone knows there have been recounts in Florida because Florida law
rquires there to be if the margin of popular vote is as close as it has been,
and now there are feds and many lawyers in Fla to find out why screwballish
things happened to many votes there.
If in fact most of the vote going to Buchanan were suppose to go to Gore which
is suppose to be like 3,000 perhaps more votes Buchanan got he wasnt suppose to
and they go to court and the people involved are allowed to change the vote from
that precinct that voted for Buchanan by accident then the election will be over
and Gore will become president RIGHTFULLY.
We'll ultimately see what plays out in the upcoming days if the rightful things
should happen sooner, and thats the real winner, the true elected winner of this
election, Albert Gore will take his place in the White House in January!
