Ma--I'll say it another way for you. Those of us who do not believe that Bush won the 2000 election fairly believe that there was much voter fraud. You really should watch Unprecedented--a brilliant documentary that goes into how black voters were kicked off of the voter lists by racist, fraudulent means--and if that is too extreme, then anyone can agree that the felony list was highly irresponsible.
And, independent firms who recounted every vote in Florida concluded that Bush would have lost that state. The person to blame is Gore for not having every county recounted--this gave the Supreme Court the ability to stop the recount and declare Bush the winner.
We understand how the President is elected. We are just a few of the millions who believe that 2000 did not go down fair and square. You are free to disagree.
Furthermore, many of us are watching carefully to see how Ohio goes down--there is a chance that Kerry could win. It is slim. I don't care if I sound like a poor loser, but I firmly believe that the Diebold electronic voting machines were part of voter fraud. I do not believe in my heart that Florida really went for Bush by the voters. You are free to disagree, but I dare to challenge the system that I believe has been corrupted a second time.
And, I pray that any corruption is revealed. We must fight for a fair vote in this country. It it comes down to Bush having fairly won this election, then I will acknowledge that. But, until we have conclusive proof one way or the other (which we may never have) I will continue to doubt the election's validity as well as the validity of Bush's mandate.
