Voting is such a joke, between the rigged machines (I DO believe it
happened), to the hanging chads, to the Supreme Court stopping recounts
(I believe that every vote should be counted as many times as it takes
to get the TRUE vote count) Even then, the candidate with the most votes
doesn't necessarily win. And no, I didn't vote for Gore, although I
would have prefered him to Bush; Gore won my state so one more vote
would not have mattered. Phooey. I always vote for my first choice, even
if he has no chance of winning.
