Superbelt you are wrong on this one.
The Supreme Court ruled that there is a given percentage of votes that will be messed up and thus not counted. You can not argue a person's intended vote by a messed up card. Maybe they wanted to vote for Buchannon(sp?), but wait... no sane person could want to vote for him so of course it's for Gore. No you can not do that, THAT is what the Supreme Court ruled. That if there was questions in it they were not to be counted, tough luck. And guess what? Bush did win Florida when the absentee ballots (Re: military almost always votes conservative) were in.
Did Bush win the election? Yes
Did Gore win the popular vote? Yes, but who cares.
Honestly the rules have been set down for well over 200 years. If you dont like it write up your Congressman and ask them to propose a change. If they dont vote against them the next elections. This is how things have gone on in America since the first elections. You cant change the rules of a game after the fact because you didnt like the outcome. Hell someone could argue that biting an ear off should be legal and then go on a rant that Tyson should be the heavyweight champ. Will it happen? Not likely.
