For those of you who are too young, in the 2,000 presidential election the SCOTUS ended the vote count in Florida and ruled Bush the winner, This happened although not all of the votes in that state were not allowed too be counted. When an attempt was made before the courts ruling to count all of the votes, a group of Gopers not only from Florida but from other states used force and intimidation to end the vote counting. And that gave us GW Bush as president. First, many Americans never believed that Bush was the true president and that has lead to many of the problems we still have with us today. It also lead to two wars, both are still going over 14 years later. If the votes had been allowed to be counted and Gore had won, we would not have had the war in Iraq as Gore, unlike Bush and Cheney, would not have lied to get us into the War in Iraq. So, no matter who wins the elections in Florida and Arizona, let us have all the votes be counted. Let us not have a repeat of what happened in the 2,000 presidential election. Elections in this country are supposed to be about the one who gets the most votes wins and not who gets to stop the voting while one candidate or the other is ahead.
