Josef Stalin once said: Those who cast the ballots decide nothing; those who count the ballots decide everything. How true it is. The wrinkled, dimpled, even pregnant chads have been counted several times. The Florida Supreme Court went beyond its bounds in changing the intent of Florida law.

The division and stratification must stop. I yield back the need to begin a transition to a George W. Bush administration.
