What happens if Secretary of State of Ohio, Blackwell says:

[jmatthan]

1. Only povisional votes that bear the date of birth will be counted (which he has already done)
2. Only provisional and absentee ballots cast for BUSH WILL BE CPOUNTED. (Which if 1. is acceptable without any contest is perfectly legitimate for him to also do!!?

Is Kerry just going to roll over and accept all these arbitrary pronouncements by the Ohio Secretary of State?

And looking at Alö Franken's and the Young Turks stand on their radio shows, they seem to also fall into this frame of mind!!

No point in saying "Goid Bless America" but rather say "God Help America"!!!!

2. hmm... do regulations or the instructions specify the need for DOB?

If so, I think that is terribly nitpicky, but it's not really the same thing as #2.

4. Why?

If he can do one with impunity - why not the other.

It is, in reality, only shifting the goalposts to ensure that your candidate wins. So it could be one large step or a series of small steps!!

If Democrats cannot challenge the small steps why should they be expected to challenge the large step?

6. Why are the pubbies being so anal about making sure every vote counts?

Oh yeah, they don't want every vote to count. Duh! :)
