the hanging chads in FL

Those were really badly designed ballots. Look at France or the UK or Canada or Virginia etc for how they should be. No self respecting democracy should ever use a half mechanical design that fails like that.

What really made me angry later was that this was used to justify worse ways counting ballots. But my main issue was the shut down recounts. GW was never properly elected, in my mind, and he made several problems for the USA that still have ramifications to this day, including his introducing modern computer voting. He used his contacts to form the first private voting companies we know today. And in my view his son was elected to Texas only because of that.

an expat now. Did you leave?

No, still in Texas. Unfortunately, during the gw era I was not interested in politics much. If I sound like an expat its because I am totally not on board with any of the major political movements
