Voters: are the only ones who count. Didn't vote? Don't whine.

In case you didn't notice, the election is OVER. Challenge away, it will not change the outcome. Speculation and baseless accusations do not help at all.

And no, you would not trust a show of hands because how many people would be required to count them? How long would that take? Weeks, months? And sounds like if you don't get the outcome you want then you'll just keep complaining.

We had to suffer under Clinton for eight years and I didn't whine about "rigged" elections or question the results. So maybe you can GET OVER IT.; Posted by: Spoon Jabber Posted on: 11/11/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
