You act like this is a democracy, as if every voice counts, surprise this is a republic, if every voice counted, BUSH would not be president right now, after all he didnt win the popular vote, and he didnt really win the recount either, but the electoral college (THE JUDGE) and the system made him president.

Just because you say he didn't win the recounts doesn't make it so. Under every interpretation of the vote results, Algore lost and Dubya won. Deal with it.

Furthermore, America is not a democracy, and I for one am grateful that it isn't. Democracy is, as another /.er's sig says, two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. Our nation is a representative republic. There is a difference. Learn it, live it, love it.
