Back on the orginal certifigate thread I posted about Texas and New York having laws that required the SOS to vet the candidates placed on the ballot. It was a mild point noted by a few Freepers and then forgotten by most. Some thought they would do this immediately following the nominations.
Instead the Berg case took the spotlight.
I live in Ohio and Brunner is not the SOS able to do this. Add onto the mess after the election...?
We’re in real trouble no matter if he wins/loses.
For most citizens what is a simple matter...should have been such for Obama. We must never forget it was a simple matter, a simple check mark in his employment box for President.
A simple matter that demonstrated how helpless the American people really are.
Well, the SOS has to certify the results. Didn’t that happen in FL with Katherine Harris in the 2000 election?
The race is certainly close enough that even a small to medium state basically withholding it’s electoral votes could change the outcome.
O-man oughta be thinking this stuff through, which it seems he has not.
If McCain wins, we need to prosecute ALL government officials who willfully ignored corruption in the voting process. They need to be removed from office and jailed. None of this Bush “playing nice” nonsense where we overlook it because we won and we are above all that.
It is not a matter of being gracious winners vs. being vindictive. It is a matter of preserving the integrity of the ballot box and the judicial system.
I have no problem with someone holding a different point of view. I have a big problem with someone who lies and cheats.
