Actually, they had a media recount, and had they (election officials) counted all the votes, Gore wins. Also, there mere many African-American (predominately Democratic) voters wrongly prevented from voting, so Gore would have won by a wider margin. The problem is the system. Since it is based on who wins what state, your vote only matters if you live in a swing state. Voting for Kerry in Texas or Utah isn't going to change anything, same as voting for Bush in Massachusetts. Elections should be decided on one person=one vote, by the popular vote. But it doesn't matter because in a few days, there will be an elected President: John Forbes Kerry
