Thats why the vote's accountability must be held to the most rigorous standard. Each and every voter must have his vote counted; not appointed as we had in 2000. Why are people lucky to live in a society of an elected administration?
People fought and died for that right. Thats why we fight a stupid police action in Iraq; draining the treasury and leaving the citizens vulnerable to huge natural disasters while the National Guard is farting around in some oil producing cabal; because the votes were not accurately counted the first time. So in a nutshell demand your vote is counted; it's the only reason to fight. If all the votes are counted then no one can complain when they get the wrong incompetent guy to lead them or if they suffer from inappropriate laws or legal enforcement.
