BTW, Florida's vote was just completed today, 5 days after the election. So if it had come down to Florida again this year, it would have been a mess again.

The article is pretty negative on the U.S. voting system, with justification. But here is a good side to mention. The U.S. never has had trouble with the public accepting electoral results, even in 2000 and 1960. No people killed, no riots with property damage... unlike some countries. So it's not a perfect system but it is a democracy that works.
