One thing that I learned from that election is the small perforated dot in the ballot that is punched out with the little pokey thing is called a chad.

Some ballots were thrown out because of the “hanging chad”; meaning the chad was still attached to the back of the ballot. Pretty sure all those ballots were for Gore.

Supposedly he lost because he asked for recounts only in counties where he was polling well, but then they should have ordered a general recount.

I’d also like to complain about the electoral college again. Anything but going by popular vote is anti-democratic. The American system is so damn infuriating to me and it’s not even my country. But it affects us globally.
