And we laughed at the Americans


Are they claiming this was good?

The Electoral Reform Society has hailed Scotland's council election as a resounding success.The organisation has suggested that there were "major inadequacies" in the vote for the Scottish Parliament, which saw more than 140,000 rejected ballots.However, a report from the society will say that the single transferable vote (STV) system used in the council election worked well.

I wonder what the same left wingers who claimed that G W Bush "stole" the election in America and joked about how "dumb yanks" could not even fill in a ballot paper, have to say about this cock up?

140,000 rejected ballots, that is some success!!! Truely I would hate to see what they call a disaster!!!!

Actually, it isn't just left-wingers who watched as the Bush Brothers stole the Presidency. All of America saw it. It was the Far-Right who called all the rest of us, which is the majority of Americans, "Left-wingers".

The plain fact is that Bush lost the election. Al Gore got more votes. What happened is that we have something called the Electoral College, which is that each state is allocated a specific number of Electoral College votes. If a candidate wins a majority in the right states, his Electoral votes can be greater than the candidate who gets the most popular votes. The candidate with the most Electoral votes wins. The Florida election was manipulated to give Bush a very tiny edge, by invalidating hundreds of thousands of votes. He then got Floridas Electoral votes and took the Presidency.

It isn't a claim that he stole the Presidency. It's an historical and proven fact. It's just that fighting it would have been so difficult and divisive in a country already terribly divided politically by the constant attacks and total partisanship of the Republicans that Al Gore chose to simply let it go.
