and since the Dems know it takes longer then that to mount any kind of real challenge to provisional ballots (this is not a "chad" based challenge) - then with that approach, we lose. if they know we don't have the stomach for a challenge like that, then their injection of vote fraud goes through.
Any valid reason to extend is reasonable IMO. If there is a reason to extend the challenge on the merits, I'm on board.
Hard rules aren't much help with fluid situations. All that we should ask for, is that the challenge be reasoned and thurough.
My guidelines were intended to infer that we have had to put up with quite a lot during important elections, and Allen has plenty of latitude before he starts butting up against a time limit.
Right. And if they have success with a particular fraudulent tactic they will use it on a larger and more comprehensive scale in the next election. Election fraud has been a tradition among Rats since time immemorial, just as bumbling incompetence in the art of political infighting and a predisposition to surrender the battlefield as soon as the first shots are fired are traditions among Republicans.
When it comes to vote fraud the demoRats can't help themselves even if they wanted to, it's just what Rats do and have always done. The first presidential election in which I voted after coming of voting age was stolen by Joseph Kennedy's money and the corrupt Chicago Democrat machine. To my surprise the Republicans knew about it but didn't seem to mind too much, they just took it in stride as though it was the normal way for elections to turn out for their candidates.
Such was my introduction to a long, frustrating period of watching my hopes go up in smoke at almost every election cycle until Ronald Reagan came onto the national scene the 2nd time to put a merciful end to the embarrassing Carter debacle and restore a sense of pride in our nation to the American people.
At my age I seriously doubt that I will see another Ronald Reagan enter the political arena, but I hope and pray my children and grandchildren will see that day come even if I don't. OK, enough sentimental meandering for this old man, my bedtime is approaching and I could sure use the sleep I lost last night
