BACKSTORY A local Republican candidate sued to (A) stop the practice and (B) for the ballots not to be counted,
both on the state law claim, and,
(C) because, (drum roll please) citing Bush v. Gore, in the FLA mess, its a "federal equal protection violation" for some voters to be
notified about curing their ballots while not notifying others.
It is creating the same situation that Florida created in 2000, with all of these different counties treating
ballots in non-uniform manners, he added. Theres a solid argument that youre voting twice.
====================================
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE: The USSC ruled in the Bush/Gore fiasco that it was a violation of the one man, one vote
to only partially count and SINCE they couldn't count the whole state of Florida, Gore's partial recount was invalid.
The USSC ordered the count to be stopped.
The decision seemed more like the USSC's acknowledgement of Democrats' proclivities
to count, recount, then count again, till they had the necessary votes to win.
BTW, when the USSC stepped in ......it was due to brilliant legal moves by Bush's lawyer, former Secy of State James Baker.
In his book about losing the election, Gore related that whenever his lawyers got to court,
Bush's lawyers had already been there.....always a a step ahead of them.
Let me guess, only those voting “D” were invited to correct their ballots while “R” ballots that had a problem were simply tossed.
I had a dem poll watcher with me here in FL. She bragged about attempting cures on ballots for both parties. That was of a load of crap and I wondered why she was making a point of it. Now I understand that.
How many ballots are we talking about?
