If this is allowed it will poison the elections. If they can replace Torricelli, Why can't we replace Simon with a stronger candidate. The RATS want to make the rules up as they go, IS Al Gore involved in this? :-)

It's worse than that. Why limit this to the major parties? The law makes no distinction between political parties, so what's to stop some third party from doing the same thing and throwing the election process into chaos? What's to stop someone from creating a third party and demanding that the ballots be rewritten?
