Denial
For most of my friends, you will be experiencing the same range of emotions that I am. In the next five entries, I hope to help us work through them together. Keep an open mind and heart as you travel this journey with me.
Stage 1: Denial
In the denial stage we refuse to believe what has happened. We try in our mind to tell ourselves that life is as it would be should our loss not have happened.
There's no way Bush could have won. The electronic balloting systems were designed by a company with clear Republican ties. Didn't the exit polls show dramatically different results than the final tally? With no paper trail, how easy is it to program the machines to spit a bunch of Democrat votes into the Republican column.
There's several hundred thousand provisional ballots in Ohio, mainly from counties with heavily Democratic populations. It's certain that these will tell us a different story once they're counted.
I'm sure president Kerry will work on creating a better voting system once he's in office.
