That's a grey area still, so debatable. Either ways it won't go down well.

Does that remark have any relevance to the 2000 election result.

OK I am bored...
The 2000 election hung on a few hundred disputed votes in Florida. They had a daft punch card system and some presumably elderly voters hadn't fully punched them but the indents on the cards were there signifying their intention. The crooked ( ) Republicans went to every length and court to stop these being counted.
Point is 2000 hung on a few hundred votes in 2020 millions of votes would need discarding.
(You were the one making a reference to 2000)

Does the number of votes matter, if something improper has happened then surely it needs addressing,and that means the courts get involved.
Btw i wish bush had lost that election.

Yes, numbers matter as do the legal reasons being filed

Taken together, few see a way to victory for Trump through the courts. “None of the litigation filed so far seems plausibly calculated to overturn the result of the election. Many complain about things like access to the counting facility, which doesn’t change election outcomes,” Rick Hasen, an election law expert at University of California Irvine, wrote in an e-mail to TIME. “Some raise unsubstantiated claims of fraud, and on a very small scale.”

Re: U.S Election 2020
Stock take:
1. We can now watch the UK government squirm on how to manage the result;
2. Republican games start;
3. Trump squirms more than our government; has to emerge at some stage.
4. Huge barrel of laughs.

There is more than one
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad...y_punched_chad
Quote:
The following terms generally apply when describing a four-cornered chad:[6]
- Hanging chads are attached to the ballot at only one corner.
- Swinging chads are attached to the ballot at two corners.
- Tri-chads are attached to the ballot at three corners.
- Pregnant or dimpled chads are attached to the ballot at all four corners, but bear an indentation indicating the voter may have intended to mark the ballot. (Sometimes "pregnant" is used to indicate a greater mark than "dimpled".)

Re: U.S Election 2020
Business did very very well under trump. Couldn't stand the man but best trading in 70 years .
Looking at 4/8 leaner years, staff lay offs . Guess people need to be careful what they wish for.just hope I am wrong .however history tells me I am right. Just glad it's not my call this time.
Just incase anyone wonders voted for third party . Even if state is heavy GOP

I suspect Iain Duncan Smith who infamously Tweeted "We don't need lectures on the Northern Ireland peace deal from Mr Biden." will be locked in the broom cupboard for a while.

What's in it for Pence, being President for a month? I think he has greater ambitions than that, so does donny actually and doing this will kill any political ambitions eituer of them have, just like it did for Gerald Ford
