What is going in Florida shows that the system works. Other than for party die-hards and media-types hunting down stories, there is very little anxiety in the States about who will be President. There is a trust in the system.
Who ever would have thought a Presidential election would come down to a few votes?
It's been known for a long time that the voting process is not perfect. Statistically speaking, however, the imperfection typically does not affect the outcome of elections, unless they are very close.
Here in the state of Minnesota there are several elections won by a handful of votes and recounts are in process. This happens every election year. Never has recounts received such high profile attention.
And will the country ultimately select a President. Absolutely. How, well, that shall remain interesting.
Inauguration day is January 20. Stay tuned!
