Again.. it is not a nation-wide count popular vote.. Bush won on all aspects of the criteria of election... it was Gore that was attempting to thwart the system with a selective recount... Bush won Florida.. Bush won Florida's electoral votes... those electoral votes secured his necessary number to win... simple enough
If you cannot understand that the checks and balances between the ways that the different branches of government are chosen, then I would suggest finally going back and finishing grade school, where the rest of us learned such things
I understand how the system worked.
You claim it is a system of checks and balances. What was "checked" by the way Bush got into office when he lost the popular vote by over a million votes?
The only thing that was "checked" that I can see was the will of the majority of the American people.
Again you liberal fucktard... the President of the US is not and should not be elected by nationwide popular vote.. we have a branch of government that is elected by popular vote, and that is the legislative branch
if mr gore had been popular in his home state of tennessee, florida would have been moot. funny how no one seems to remember that.
