Every ballot that was cast is easily recoverable. Just count them.

Funny how that works. The courts don’t hesitate to keep voting polls open so that everyone can vote. But keeping a count open so that everyone’s vote counts, if it’s a Republican, isn’t that important.

It won’t happen now, no one in a position of authority will defend what is right.

Right.

If Col. West is cheated out of his election, we’re all cheated.

Congress can refuse to seat Murphy thus forcing a new special election.

If Gingrich were speaker Murphy would never be allowed to take a seat but with Boehner as speaker, that wont happen.

I would have thought that, but Newt is saying this.

I'm reading that all the recount was recorded on 6 memory cards and the last one failed to upload:

- - - - - - -

"They had all of the votes on six memory cards. One of them wouldn't upload, but the guy in charge Todd Mowry who knows the total recount numbers was quoted earlier as saying "Happy Days" which would indicate he knew that West had more votes.

So, the only reason they "missed the deadline" is a memory card glitch. Murphy and co. want to disenfranchise every vote on that last card. There are lots of people at that recount location screaming bloody murder at this moment."

In a split second, all someone has to do is run a magnet over the memory card and the data would be gone.

Don’t know until the votes are counted truthfully.

Only time I see this happening at this stage of the game is when I am brought before God to learn what really happened, and that's if he sees value in telling me. To many people have either bought into the notion that the end justifies the mean rather than Honor and Law, or its better to just stay quite on the side lines which only encourages the callow behavior.

At least the Dem “elect” will have to start campaigning again and if things haven’t fallen to the point of no return he will have to stand in less than two years for another election.

But, how many have no faith in elections anymore?
