What is mixed about it?

This began when I claimed that because Bush was elected President under a system that is accepted by Americans, his election was democratic. You responded by saying that because so many Americans do not understand the election system, they could not accept that system (meaning that the system was undemocratic because of this). Later, you said that you believe people without a certain amount of knowledge about the government should not be allowed to vote. This is where you seem to be contradicting yourself. If uninformed people are not qualified to voice their opinion, then their understanding of the election system is irrelevant; all that matters are the opinions of those who take the time to learn the election process, and the majority of this group does accept the process.

So, my question is this: did I misunderstand anything you said? If so, what? If not, then what do you find flawed about Bush's election?

Now, on to the rest...

I am well aware of that. One should think, though, that the USA should be able to get a grip and practice equality for real.

In theory, yes. In reality, I find it very unlikely. All it takes is one person in the entire testing process who is inclined to show favoritism toward (or dislike of) a certain group, and the system is unfair. The odds that every person who oversees the testing is honest are incredibly slim.
