Will election by litigation be the new norm? Florida 2000 may have been only the start!

We may be on the way to turning Election Day into Election Month through a new legal quagmire: election through litigation. Yesterday's races promise to throw up a series of demands for recounts, lawsuits and seating challenges in Congress. "We're waiting for the day that pols can just cut out the middleman and settle all elections in court," jokes the political newsletter Hotline.

Oh my God, my ballott was so hard to figure out. It says to draw a line in the middle of an arrow ( to connect it ) next to your selection (from this <-- -- to this <-----).
I wonder if I should contact a lawyer, since there are so many of them and they need the work so bad, to help me sue Maryland for giving me so much stress in trying to figure out how to connect those d**n arrows.

re:
"...avoid the further Floridification of our politics....."

Arrrrrraaaggggghhhhhh!!

I HATE that.

Why don't they call it what it was: The democratization of our politics.

There was nothing wrong with the ballots, or the voters of Florida. It was the
scheming and assumption by the corrupted democrat party [ala' Daley], that
the election "fix" was in and there wouldn't be a problem winning in Florida.

To their surprise and shock, Bush won Florida in spite of their "fixing" of the votes!
That's when the democrats took the low road and attempted to overrule the
will of the voters. Subsequent counts proved that the race was not as close
as first assumed.

Damn, but I hate it when they brainwash people, but I hate it more when
FR members repeat the ^%$#!~!.
