I posted this ages ago, but it’s worth re-stating:

> [@Should elections be winnable by one vote in a million?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-elections-be-winnable-by-one-vote-in-a-million/841168/8):
>
> Elections should only be decided by a vote greater than the margin of error in the election. This is a point that was never made during Bush v. Gore - it wasn’t that Bush won or Gore won. Neither won- the vote tallying was too imprecise to know for sure who got the most votes. The election should have been redone as a run-off between the two candidates, dropping all the small fry off the ballot.
