Election chaos - MATH to the rescue

It seems to me that the very close presidential election

    - the tranquility of the UNION -  demands the  skills of professional

    mathematicians - especially those who specialize in statistics and

    error control. HIGH TECH has take a vacation in sunny Miami !

                Second Year Algebra students are introduced to the

    wonders of CHANCE & PROBABILITY , and soon learn the divine

    principle that there is ORDER in DISORDER !

              A random sample of "pregnant or dimpled chads " - viewed

    from a random error perspective might have convinced every fair

    minded and semi-bright voter in the country that we could give

    the benefit of the doubt to Bush OR Gore .

                Now we are in a real mess. One joker said via an

    e-mail to MSNBC . Let Gore  hold out for 9 months. Then the pregnant

    chads will give birth and he will take Jeb Bush's Florida by

    a landslide !
