Massive number of links on my friends list this morning on voter fraud, and the fact that pretty much 3% of votes in every presidential election are uncountable for any given reason.

This is bad. Really really bad. And if the story gains momentum and makes it to the mainstream press, I can't even imagine.... I mean this shell shocked misery is one thing, but what if the exit polls weren't wrong?

You know, if our national ATM network works, why the hell can't we figure out how to have every vote counted, accurately and fairly?

I'll put the list of links together tonight, but here's this for now: http://www.livejournal.com/users/womzilla/102943.html?#cutid1

I don't think there is any question in your mind or mine that I definately know some stupid people. Given that, I will say that some people think that the concession means that the EC doesn't matter since the opposing party gave up. ( Yes, I know this sounds dumb - but there you go ). My question is, is the concession legally binding at all? Does it really matter?


As far as the EC goes, Do you think we will see some no faith[1] votes or will they all vote in line with the popular ?


[1] I think that's what it's called, when the EC represenatitive votes against the popular vote.

Concession is a political concept, not a legal one.

That's what I thought, I was looking for some proof to back it up.
Tnx.

Gore conceded the election in 2000 then recanted. In fact Kerry said that was one of Gores biggest mistakes since alot of people think that the concession is the end of an election.
