25. A lot of people got out to vote against GWB

but not all of them got their vote counted. Their vote was co-opted by the Supremes or by machine technology or lack thereof: electronic voting machines IMO. A lot of books have been written about OH in 2004 and FL in 2000. If the voters had not been in competition with a highly coordinated and sophisticated set of Nazis, crooks, and criminals, Gore would have won (did win) in 2000 and Kerry would have won (did win IMO) in 2004.

All of this is just IMO because there's no way to know one way or the other when the results of the voting in an election are to all intents and purposes completely unverifiable and un-transparent.
