Well here we are the day after, and it looks like we won’t know until tomorrow who won Florida and got the electoral votes necessary to win the election. If Bush wins, despite the fact that more Americans voted for Gore, it will be a depressing failure of our system in my opinion. Regardless of your party affiliation or particular viewpoint on this election, I’m of the opinion that, in a representative democracy, the candidate that the majority of the people voted for should win. If this doesn’t happen, the person who won did so through a loophole in our system. This is a horrible situation for our country.
