Re: Aloha

But what does this election snafu have to do with Democracy. IMHO, NOTHING!!!!

The election problems in Florida has, as you state, nothing to do with democracy. That is correct.
The way the two combattants relate to the problems, has to do with democracy (it reflects their views on a democratic process) and their views have, I regret to say, nothing to do with democracy either!
Neither of them seem interested in getting the most accurate result out of the Florida mess, but rather, try through populistic means to agrue and win popular support for the notion that the problems should be addressed in a non-optimal manner that would one-sidedly favor themselves.

You are therefore guaranteed that you will NOT get the most accurate count out of Florida. You could easily have gotten one that would be more accurate, but it's not deemed of interest by either side. That, most certainly, has to do with democracy (or rather, lack of it)!
