Too Close To Call
Friday, November 10th, 2000In an election this close there is no moral victory. Neither candidate ‘deserves’ to win. Neither candidate can claim he is with or against the will of the people; the will of the people is buried somewhere in the noise, and is therefore unknowable. At this point, we cannot discern justice no matter how many lawsuits are filed or votes recounted. We cannot preserve the integrity of the choice; we must, at all costs, preserve the integrity of the system.
