No!
We need to guarantee a fair election and win even if by just one vote as it should be.
We need to stifle their game, not play by the rules of it.

An honest win by 1% will be a Democrat win by 3%. That is with just the normal vote manipulation tactics, the ones that go unremarked. All the stops will be pulled out for Coakley. That is why a win of 5% or better is necessary to even get to a recount. Every cycle the percentage of fraudulent Social Democrat votes increases in the national office elections. If there is a recount then sufficient additional SocDem votes will be found in a state with Democrat judges to put Coakley in the Senate seat.
