And SCOTUS didn't do anything other than remind FL to follow their own election laws, rather than try to change them when the out come didn't come as wanted by certain parties. The problem with the FL election was that the margin of error was greater than the margin of victory. That's it.

A more troubling problem with US elections is the media reporting them in real time. No reports should be released until the last voting booth is closed. With a country that spans three time zones, it just means that those impatiant schmucks just have to WAIT. Otherwise, there is the real danger of the media swaying an election.
