[Cicero]

Can't a recount involve throwing out demonstrably fraudulent votes? It's not as if the numbers are that large. If Gore managed to throw out the absentee ballots in Florida, I should think the same thing could be done in SD, with much better evidence.

Congress let Bob Dornan be fraudulently defeated when it foolishly agreed to seat his cheating opponent. What did they gain by doing that? Did they gain any Dem good will or willingness to compromise? I don't see why they should make the same mistake again. They should refrain from seating either candidate until all the issues are resolved, even if it takes six years to resolve them.

i hope you're right cicero. my concern is that there is so much going on and that the law may not matter when it comes to the courts like in nj and fl. this will be interesting, if not frustrating story to follow.
