They met on Dec. 13th. Actually, even if this "high-tech" vote fraud were true (snort), since the electors have already met, it's totally in Congress' hands now. They could still vote Bush in if they wanted to.

Yeah, djf, they sure have. But, Article II, Section 1 says that the electoral votes have to be opened by the President of the Senate who will then add up the votes with the guy/gal having the most votes becoming President.

I do not believe that process has occurred yet, though I may be wrong.

If not, and if a court could nullify a state's electors, then perhaps JFK-lite could win.

Now I am not sure a court could do such a thing.

Should one do so, there would be a Constitutional crisis that this country has not seen and certainly does not need.

I think that most of we, the people, vote, and then accept the results, even if at times some of them smell a bit (and I am not saying this election reeks at all).

We want to move on, make a living and raise our kids knowing that the country will survive.

To make every election a legal circus is unacceptable and could destroy the fabric of our country.

I doubt even JFK-lite would allow this to happen. If he did so, and succeeded, he would have no authority to rule; his presidency would be a sham.

I doubt that even he would want to go down in history as a guy who became president but helped destroy the county.
