Thanks for the informative comment. I didn't know anything about the adoption. And as for  the chads--I voted Nader and was vilified. But I really hated both Bush and Gore. But I had a news editorial job at the time and had been studying Bush/Gore corruption for years. It was hard for me to say whom I disliked more. But there is no way that the SC should have decided that vote. It was really dirty business, complicated and convoluted. Same pattern as 2018.
