'True Vote' is elusive.  What happened in 2000 was that the losing side 
wanted the votes recounted as many times as it took for them to win.

Here in Gore's "home" state people didn't prefer him.  Having dealt with him, 
there was good reason for that.

Good, because that 'vote for the other side' business is a red herring.  Here 
Bush won handily, so my voting for him (I had not desire to do so) would have 
been NOT made any difference.  But the third parties have to get out of the 
single digits in order for there to ever be any progress.

I've voted Libertarian in the past four elections and will vote that way in 
this one.   </HTML>
