If the Supreme Court had gone with Gore we would currently be talking about a movie of how Bush was gipped out of the White House.
Yeah...so?
How is American democracy a farce? They have measures in place to deal with issues such as those which arose in the 2000 election. Their issue was no bigger than many other countries have faced who are still considered democratic.
Its a farce because America proclaims itself as the voice of democracy, yet its elections in 2000 showed how flawed their democratic system is. To this day, we still do not know who won the election. Essentially, the vote was cast by one woman - Katherine Harris. What is more, the film revealed all the mistakes that took place during the election. Consider this: If there had been a 5% difference in Florida, none of these huge problems would have come to light, such as thousands of people being prevented from voting, and so on. So how can we be confident in the election system in future years?

I understand they've changed the system in recent years, but its hard to be confident when you look back at the past. This too is combined with modern criticisms of the voting system, during the New Hampshire election, for example. My point is, the democratic vote counting systems in America are far from ideal. Its very possible that the UK does a better job. But whatever it is, America aint setting a good example. Thats for sure.
