The cheats will be working hard to fix the vote if it is even close.
whats the law on automatic recounts?.....if the tally narrows, I think its worth a shot...just to show the rats that we’re serioius......
We had better learn to be "No more Mr Nice Guy" and start throwing their tactics back at them. Its bad enough that we have Acorn and SEIU out there trying to manipulate the election results but, jeez,do we have to shoot ourselves in the foot!
Unfortunately, that's not the way it works. From the article...
"But the letter noted that Owens still led by about 3,000 votes, and that the special election was not contested -- two factors that legally allowed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to swear in Owens on Friday."
For Hoffman to be installed now, a House member would have to challenge Owens on the floor, and the House would theoretically act to expel Owens and seat or install Hoffman. What do you think the chances of that happening in a Pelosi House are?
Hoffman's big mistake was NOT contesting the election. Not surprising as he's a political neophyte without the backing of big-party election counsel.

I think you are wrong. I am not a lwayer...at all.. but I just read that it will fully nullify the actions of Owens and his nomination. Sadly..cannot remember where I rea that - sorry.
I hate to tell you this, but the probably incompetent Hoffman campaign spokesman said that Hoffman could not win a majority in a two way race.
And yes, should Owens hold his lead, that would prove that Hoffman was indeed a spoiler, if you believe the incompetent campaign spokesman.
The quote is “”For Doug to win, we needed a three-way race,” Ryan said”
If Hoffman conceded based on faulty information provided by the election officies, I think he has a right to a recount or some other remedy.....
I so agree with you. He should never had conceded so fast! WE SHOULD STOP BEING SO STUPIDLY POLITE!!!
If Hoffman does end up being the winner, Pelosi won’t seat him.
Just watch.
How is someone suppose to know if the media is telling them they are losing by a million votes, that it isn't correct and he might actually be winning.....
By the time the votes are actually counted the other dude is already sworn in ... wtf
“Hoffman’s big mistake was NOT contesting the election.”
Even if he loses, contesting it could have at least denied the democrats a vote for a while. Coleman in MN, dragged things out a really long time, denying the democrats a critical Senate vote for about 7 months.
Owens was never certified by the state, he should have never been sworn in to begin with, no way his votes could stand it it turns out Hoffman is certified the winner.
Interesting development.
As a resident of Washington State I feel qualified to say that for an (R) or conservative candidate to win an election in a very blue district, that candidate must win by a huge margin. Otherwise the votes will just keep being recounted until the (D) candidate wins. I’m still amazed by how close Hoffman came to winning this.
Then we will need to go back in the street - seriously this time!!!
The ONE thing that could help would be talk radio, the internet and citizen outrage. Might give the minority party some backbone.
Most, and I can say that with certainty do vote republican, even conservative but we send in those ballot's early, and if you recall Hoffman came in late, had the military ALL the information I have no doubt they would have made the informed choice.
I think as I read your remark the first time it took me off guard, I am just unclear as to your point.
The military takes their ability to vote ABSENTEE most seriously and units around the world do all they can to ensure that active duty/ family member's have all the assets available to get their vote in within the time allocated.
Again, the problem remains, Hoffman may not have been available for many of our finest to have his name as the choice.
IN THE FUTURE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY NOT ONLY DEBPENDS ON OUR FIGHTING MEN AND WOMEN TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY SAFE BUT THEIR VOTE IS IMPORTANT AS WELL.
No, he was a sworn representative at the time. He probably even gets his retirement.
