Once the polls close on November 2, will the election of 2004 be over? If the result margin for the Presidential race is thin, will there be court challenges, recounts and allegations of voter intimidation and malfunctioning touch screens? Could the outcome be unnkown for weeks or months? What impact will the pollsters and the pundits have had on all of this? Will significant reform be needed and should the Electoral College remain in place?
