No, we have ourselves to thank for that. The potential existed long before hanging chads were a part of the national vernacular.

Of course it did. But this administration exploited it.

I miss the innocent, carefree days of yesteryear when America knew Hanging Chad only as the male talent in a Linda Lovelace flick. Le sigh.
