NOW is the time for us to organize and help get ready for another victory by the DEAD. We let Carhnihan go and now it's a trend. Let's stop it now. What are the legal mechanisms to be used to prevent the DEAD from winning elections. I see two:

1. Challenge the election results in court based on the fact that the candidate was not eligible to run. Who wins in a ineligible candidate vs. second vote getter. This would possibly have to do with state election laws, and getting either the Sec. of State (unlikely, a corrupt Dem no doubt) or a judge of some sort to rule against the practice of running DEAD proxy candidates.

2. Immediately seat the "R" for the full term as the first act of business of the next Congress. I believe the Constitution says that the House is the final arbitrator of who it seats.

We probably have to replace the wrestling coach to do this. He seems to have "left it in the gym" as far as political fights go.

There will be a new election 60-90 days after the November general election. It's useless to go to court. The voters will need to select a new candidate in the next election. It's ok. They can't seat a Dem in the seat, so the House has a temporary 1 vote GOP margin.

Challenge the election results in court based on the fact that the candidate was not eligible to run.

The Constitution says who may serve, but state election laws govern who may run. Mink qualified for the place on the ballot and now Hawaii election laws prevent her from being removed. Nothing you can do about it. Be it Bart Simpson or dead candidate the one getting the most votes will be certified as the winner.

Immediately seat the "R" for the full term as the first act of business of the next Congress. I believe the Constitution says that the House is the final arbitrator of who it seats.

You would be wrong. The Constitution is silent on the subject. It's a moot issue anyway because should Mink get the most votes then she will be declared the winner and the seat declared vacant so there is nobody for Congress to refuse to seat. The winner of the special election will be the one sworn in.
