Second this country is a Republic not a Democracy. In a democracy the majority rule. Majority rule is mob rule. Mob rule is CHAOS. "Broom; Could you please explain this to me. I was always under the impression that a Democracy is a majority rule by a free election<.p>
Two years ago we had a free election by which GWB won with a few more votes.
Does this constitute mob rule and chaos?.

NO. If we had a democracy the popular vote would win. We have an electoral college so that the smaller states would not get runover by the larger states. That is why the electoral votes are so important. If Gore had won his state of Tennesse and Bill Clinton's state of Arkansas Florida would not have gained the importance it did and Gore would have gained the presidency by the electoral college vote.
