[John Jorsett]

Anyone know if the Supreme Court members have shown up at the office today?

[Hildy]

Seems very simple to me. Once absentee votes are accepted, you cannot change the ballot. Period. Why is this so hard to understand?

[Arkie2]

This is rich. The Democrats claim the Republicans are trying to engineer a victory for their candidate? They really have no shame! Even though I know what they are they never really cease to amaze me.

Fight fire with fire. Replace Forrester with Giuliani !!

BUMP

[goldstategop]

The Crybaby Party was caught with its hands in the cookie jar and now they're trying to deflect the blame to the side that isn't guilty of wrongdoing. What the Rats learned from Bubba is to be brazen at lying and never ever accept personal responsibility for the consequences of your own actions.

I haven't seen or heard anything yet.

I've been checking the TV channels myself to see if anything is happening.

Hopefully someone will post a thread if something starts happening.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I liked Rush's comments on this subject yesterday...Watch out, Wellstone ! If your popularity dips; you could be replaced.

[WayneH]

I heard a caller on Rush the other day say that since ballots had been received from absentee voters, the election is underway. If the election is underway, Torrecelli conceded. Therefore, the election is over.

"The Supreme Court surprised both sides by jumping into the fight two years ago, ending ballot recounts in Florida by a bitter 5-4 vote..."

I seem to recall two SCOTUS votes, one 7 to 2 and the other 5 to 4 but I don't recall specifically what the two votes were about. One thing I'm sure of today, the DemoCraps are framing the issue, only remembering the 5-4 vote (bitter? to whom?).

[Tacis]

The way to the USSC might be through another candidate. On Monday morning, let's have a new candidate demand to be included on the ballot (the better known and as far left as possible, the better). NJ will decline based on the same law that the NJSC waived last week. Whether the issue is resdidency, signed petitions, date of filing, party results in last election, it doesn't matter, the NJSC words apply.

We need legal fees and the guts to move forward. But, it should be very easy to demonstrate how crooked the Jersey court is and how sleazy are the dems.

[Laverne]

The only relevant comparison is the 9-0 decision by the USSC to vacate the SCOFLAs decision....of course the oped piece doesn't mention that fact....not surprising.

[aristeides]

The Green Party candidate might well be willing to do this. He said at the oral argument on Wednesday that if his party wanted to substitute a different candidate for him, the court would never allow it.

[mrb1960]

My guess is this.

We haven't heard any word on the subject at all this morning, and to my knowledge no one has seen the justices enter the building yet. My guess is the prelimary debate between the justices is being held elsewhere, or they got a huge teleconference going on.

The longer we don't hear about, the longer it means they are debating amongst themselves whether or not to take it. The longer it takes, the better chance there is that this situation will go in favor in of the Pubs. Now, granted, that's just a gut instinct. Take it for what's it's worth. I'm not polished in the world of political thinking or predicting.

Believe me, I will be watching and listening just like everyone else.

The Democrats claim the Republicans are trying to engineer a victory for their candidate?

Problem is, this theme has already been picked up by the Dem media 'hos and will resonate with the sheeple. My bet, Forrester loses.

[Caipirabob]

I had a read (On another post by a Freeper) that the absentee ballots already being received were being discarded. Tossed out. Forrester must be have been ahead already.

[LaGrone]

Thanks for your opinion. We are all waiting on pins and needles hoping they take appropriate action.

[Eala]

Republicans have offered no good reason that the high court should play referee

More liberal lies. This should have carried an barf alert.

(BTW, it's amusing that her name means "grumbling" or "complaint" in Scottish Gaelic. Fits well. Then translate "Anne" to "An" and it becomes "The Grumble", which fits even better! )
