That doesn't matter. Nobody is disputing that Bush, for the first time in his life, won a President election. That doesn't mean that every instance - by anyone, for any reason - of vote fraud or tampering shouldn't be investigated and prosecuted. Safe, free, fair elections are the minimal requirement for a successful democracy - it should be our duty to ensure that every vote is counted, every attempt to illegally alter the election outcomes is stopped, no matter who is as fault.
