Ms. Jennings, you lost — and that’s it. (FL 13th Congressional Election)

Sure hope that Byron York is correct...but I don't put it past the 'drunk on victory' Dems under the Queen Mum Pelosi...to throw out the rightfully certified winner Vern Buchanan & seat Christine Jennings.

[JulieRNR21]

More on Dem Christine Jennings refusal to concede that Republican Vern Buchanan won!

Nothing more need be said:

Jennings isn’t buying it. Heavily invested in the idea of machine malfunction, she went to court to demand the right to examine the voting machines’ software

And here is the programming code:

10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 GOTO 10

[Socratic]

Ah,ah,ah......Let's not waste paper.

[calljack]

Ms. Jennings your Kung Fu is not strong.

RAT

[Mr_Moonlight]

ahhhh, its not LNPRINT, but simply PRINT ... which only wastes 'lectricity on the CRT monitor

/grin

[Socratic]

I yield to your superior knowledge. ;-)

[BurtSB]

the local DNC operatives on the local news were almost crying when they reported that vern was sworn in .
so sad ! HA !

[GoBucks2002]

Rats did this to someone in Indiana in the 1980s. They seated the Rat who lost rather than the Republican who won.

[Vermonter]

Last week, a judge said no.

And this week, Jennings is appealing the court's ruling.

Can you say 'Sore Loserman'?

[JulieRNR21]

Cry Baby Dems......they are sore-losers.

Always cry 'fraud or machine failure' when they lose!

There were 12,000 undervotes in the same race in 2004..... so there were 18,000 in a very nasty 2006 campaign with lots of mud-slinging which turned off voters.

Besides BOTH Jennings & Buchanan saw the ballot prior to the race and approved of it.

If the placement of the Congressional race just above the State races caused some confusion.....then that also hurt Buchanan's voters.

As York says......there was 'no fraud,no stolen votes, no corruption'....this stuff happens in many races all over the country!

[prov1813man]

Facts are, Jennings would not like the results of a re-vote in heavily red Sarasota county. The working local theory is this: Buchanan won a bitterly divided primary race against a more conservative favorite, who refused to endorse him and whose supporters withheld their votes on election day. My guess is that a strong percentage of "undervotes" were republicans "teaching the party a lesson".

If the placement of the Congressional race just above the State races caused some confusion.....then that also hurt Buchanan's voters.

Bingo! Excellent point, Julie. For all we know, Buchanan would have had a greater margin of victory with a better ballot design.

And here is the programming code:

10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 GOTO 10

Wow! Someone else besides me knows BASIC. Ah, the old Intel 8088 chip brings back memories.

[ccmay]

Ah, the old Intel 8088 chip brings back memories.

Pooh, I was doing this on a PDP-11 years before the Intel 8088 was so much as ink on a drawing board.

Ms. Jennings, you lost — and that’s it. Welcome, Rep. Jennings!...and on CNN today Wolf Blitzer intoned that "among those taking the oath of office was Vern Buchanan of Florida even though his opponent Christine Jennings is still contesting the election"...as though Buchanan should hold off on taking office simply because his 'rat opposition has not yet conceded - the 'rats' sense that they have a right ot power no matter what seems to know no bounds......

[SmithL]

I notice that no one is questioning all of the close ballots won by Dems.
