In the election Bush actually did recieve more votes throughout the country. The problem was florida. And the system certified Bush the winner. Then Gore challenged the system by using another system and eventually lost. That is the wonderful thing about america. A problem can occur and it does not destroy the country.
In the past it has never been an issue because the other person concedes. Gore did concede the election and then recanted. And then kept going and going until he had shown his own lack of charater.
I have always believed that there is a reason for everything. And when Sept 11. happened I figured that is why it all happened.

But then when the it is decided per district, does a big state ( bigger population) get more senators, if not than a New York vote is less worth than a Texas vote
Lets say that 51% of the states so 27 states have 30 % of the population then you would be able to win with only 30% of the votes not very democratic is it?
