Scam.
The unfortunate residents of that state may accept this.
However, if it’s done on a national level, there will be a revolt. And not a pretty one.
I’m sick and tired of being outmanuevered by libs. When do we start outmanuevering these asshats!?
Don't they always?
I'm thinking about the Starr investigation, when they had Lewinsky by the throat. They never squeezed her to find out where she got the (suborning perjury) Talking Points Memo in order to work their way up the food chain.
Democrats are wolves. Republicans are lambs.
As we saw in Florida, any factor which impairs the ability to repeatedly read a ballot during a recount is going to hurt the majority candidate in that batch more than the minority candidate in that batch, simply because the majority candidate has more ballots subject to being tattered, etc.
“Elias again had proved himself worthy of his status as the go-to gunner for Democrats nationwide. He represents all but a handful of Democrats in the U.S. Senate and has prepared to fight or has fought close Senate elections every two years for a decade. “
Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey kiddies. We have a tactical bottleneck here. This guy goes down, it all falls.
Which is why switching to a national popular vote (in whatever guise) would be a curse quite apart from the framers’ intent in setting up the electoral college. All of a sudden a regional recount becomes a national recount.
The fact that the Bush team was able to pull it off in 2000 is all that more remarkable.
Counting fraudulent ACORN “votes” of non-existent people, is not the “will if the people”.
It's called election theft, and fraud. This lawyer and Franken both should be in jail today.
It needs to be well planned ahead of time.
One obvious thing: Recount methods should be instituted which cause minimal or no damage to ballots.
Don’t forget about King County, WA and the election that inserted (yet again) a dem gov. They kept recounting and recounting until they got the answer they wanted. Then the recounts ended.
>> In truth, not every break had gone to Franken, but so many had that it made the difference.
Anything goes when the elections are that close. The attorney should remind himself often that the voters are most responsible for the outcome.
And they recounted more times in Pubbie areas, thus destroying more Pubbie ballots.
“Now it was clear: The Coleman side didn’t have clean copies of their own evidence. Campaign workers had marked up their original copies. The Franken team was under no legal obligation to provide their copies ? and Elias wasn’t about to; after all, this was Coleman’s case to put on.”
Huh? Why couldn’t Coleman’s side subpeona that “best evidence”? Something doesn’t make sense here...
Yup.
Bush outmaneuvered the RATS every time. The loony left were angry with Bush, not because they really thought Bush “stole” the election. No. They hated Bush because Bush prevented the loony left from stealing the election in Florida.
Yup.
They lost because they never realized they were in an all out war.
When we do, they scream bloody murder, like the 2000 presidential election they tried to steal.
