Sorry, I’ll have to hit the abuse button on that one. Do really think advocating that solution reflects well on FR?

Who was advocating it? I said having a DQ occur after the inaguration would only be, whatever word the other poster used, but a Good Thing, if one *wanted* to vote from the rooftops, but added that I would just as soon avoid that if at all possible.

Clearly the framers invisioned such a possibility, that being the main reason for the second amendment. But even before the Bill of Rights was passed, Hamiliton, in Federalist No. 28 envisioned that such a thing might become necessary, even though he, as I, hoped it would not, and that Government formed by the Constitution would help to keep such from happening.:

If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defence, which is paramount to all positive forms of government; and which, against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success, than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power became usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions or districts, of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defence. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. The usurpers, cloathed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo. The smaller the extent of territory, the more difficult will it be for the people to form a regular or systematic plan of opposition; and the more easy will it be to defeat their early efforts. Intelligence can be more speedily obtained of their preparations and movements; and the military force in the possession of the usurpers, can be more rapidly directed against the part where the opposition has begun. In this situation, there must be a peculiar coincidence of circumstances to ensure success to the popular resistance.
