LYN, if you read about the companies that provide the machines, what computer scientists have to say about the machines, and certain states like California that therefore refused to use the machines, it is not just a mechanical issue, but one of ethics too.
In any event, back to my reply to pattylou... Throughout the election process Kerry said he did not want to further divide the country with election disputes--including Ohio. He gracefully conceded victory to Bush (who I doubt could be capable of the same behavior).
Though we will have to deal with the repercussions such as record deficits and record spending (highway bill just passed), etc., etc. for the rest of Bush's second term (hopefully no new wars) I feel the evaluation of the elections conducted by others was a better path. And it is leading to election reform, which would be a good thing for everyone.
