Yes, I know how state and federal election laws work. Most Freepers on this thread are angry and lashing out and they don't understand how the system works and don't know the intricacies of state election laws, much less how they integrate with federal law. I would just get stomped on if I went into it here (and it would be long), as the Freepers will hit anything that moves right now about this.
For instance, most states can pass election laws that affect state and federal elections with no problem unless there is a protest of someone with standing, but some states, Texas being one of them, can't pass and put into action any law that affects federal elections UNLESS the US JUSTICE DEPT., MEANING ATT. GEN. HOLDER, APPROVES IT. Holder hates Texas with a passion and he stomps on Texas every chance he gets which he did when we passed a voter picture ID law two years ago. He took us to the Supreme Court. He must have one of his henchmen sitting in our Texas House and one in our Texas Senate, taking notes to see what he can screw up next in Texas. I despise Holder.
Anyway, in law, every word in a law means something and some of those words have a special meaning when written in law. When I taught law, the first thing I taught them, was how to read each word to know what it exactly meant in law. If you don't know that, you won't know what that law really means. The person who does know what every word in law really means, is the winner in politics. If you are going to play the game of politics, you have to know the rules and the rules are the election laws. We used those laws to turn a Democrat County into a Republican one in four years. He who knows the rules, wins.
Interesting stuff. Kudos to you for that work! Seems like we need more education on the system somehow.
I think Holder hates the whole country, except for certain parts of NYC and DC. He understands the value of words alright, like “I don’t know”.
