from the Chicago Tribune, an interview with former Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O'Connor
What a different world we would be living in.
Bush v. Gore will be debated for many years to come.
But the question I have, would there ever have been an end to it. We had the vote, the recount of the vote, the recount of the recount of the vote. Then they started on a recount of the recount of the recount of the vote. They probably would still be recounting the vote for the ten thousandth time today. The craziest aspect of the recount was the ballots in where no one punched a candidate for president. Watching that committee trying to determine which candidate they would have voted for if they had voted for a candidate for president was really, shall I say the last straw.
I was to a point where I didn't care one iota who won, I just wanted it over. The lesson here, if you do not like either major party candidate for president and plan on not voting for the office of president, make sure you either write in a name or vote for a third party. In a close election, some dumb idiot will try to figure out whom you would have voted for even if you didn't want to vote for either one.
