"Nader highlighted irregularities including one reported earlier in an Ohio polling station where 638 voters cast ballots but results showed 4,258 voted for Bush, and 260 for Kerry. "
i know he's not the person so quote for stuff, but if that's true, Nader's right - we need a re-count.
also, he's right re: concession speeches, etc. *that* is what i hate about this system, meredith. voters chose ppl who will be voting for presidents. until they convene and name who they are voting for, no one's won anything. in that context, a concession speech makes no sense. not that i expect it to happen, but if 20 of the "bush" electoral votes were to nominate someone else, he wouldn't be president. (saying "argh" in my head right now)
it's a point of legal technicality more than anything else, but the concession bit has always seemed quite the farce to me.
