Whether we're 100% fair in all cases and 100% accurate in counting (Bush did win ALL of the recounts though) is probably up to be disputed. In my opinion, the question as to whether we are the most accurate and the most fair at these things in the entire world (or at least on par with our neighbors to the north  ) is something that I don't think is open to dispute.
This is just another little whimper by the left (11 Democratic members of Congress if memory serves) about how they still think the election was "stolen".

The issue with some folks in the US are that citizen's votes were NOT counted at all in Florida in 2000. I am not talking about the messed up voting cards where 2 persons were selected for president or the undercounted cards where there was no one selected for president. I am talking about
properly casted ballots that were not even counted in the 2000 Florida election.
Reminiscient of the old days of votes falling off the turnip truck...
Either way, I think this year, everybody is gonna vote in this coming election. Which makes this interesting to see international observers... I have my conspiracy theories brewing in my head about this fact, but I will see what happens as things unfold and develop...
However, I do agree with William Safire's assessment of the upcoming election for president, from the "Meet the Press" interview, that this election will not be a close election it will go one way, all the way and most likely for Bush...
