No matter what comes of the re-count efforts: DU HAS HAD A HUGE IMPACT ON

[mzmolly]

OUR DEMOCRACY.

People have lost faith in the system slowly over the past several years.

The worst that can come from the Hard work of some of our DU-ers and others, is that faith in the integrity of our election process is strengthened.

The outcome will be one of the following:

1. We'll find fraud and Kerry will win ... eventually, or they'll have to re-vote in some places.

2. We'll find fraud/irregularities though not enough to impact the outcome of this election, it will bring about change.

3. We'll find that the system (though flawed) is essentially sound and people will be more motivated to vote in the future.

Looking into this situation is a win/win for democracy.

Cheers to my fellow DU-ers who all worked so hard to bring this issue forward regardless of what happens next.
