Reply #43: When is an election rendered null by fraud? [View All]

[PATRICK]

Who sets that standard and who can make the decision untainted by influence? This seems taboo not legal territory as with much of election law. I listened long and hard on C-Span to the NAACP lawyers explaining their history of combating injustices in voting, which of course covered the gamut. The satisfaction received in verdicts covered the gamut to, up to reversing election results.

So they can impeach Bill for lying about sex, but the president is clearly above election law and getting higher by the day?

Also the FOCUS of the issue has to be set, if not for Kerry, then for redemption of the integrity of the system- and no compromises with GOP backdoors and reneging on promises. They broke their word about intimidation at the polls. Are they no consequences for that?

Meanwhile the soft lies sink deep into a BIG section of the Kerry voters.

Skinner, everybody. This is a rare place open to the issue that people can come to. Can we clear the sandbox somewhere to let visitors easily access the investigation? Links, studies, ongoing probings, charts and statistics, etc. It is equally discouraging to us to see the stuff tossed about in the whirlwind, the usual backtrackings of the overeager, the rants, the impatience. I know it sorts out or peters out but we may have more impact if people outside can see where this is really going.

As of now it appears that without a penalty for e-voting fraud except for the most obvious and unarguable corrections there is no statistical hope of finding "winning" votes and of course lawsuits against fraud will be small and late. Second it appears dubious to me what clout anything will have to retake the fraud means or even bargain with the Repugs OR even get the masses riled enough to fight through the propaganda.

Just knowing someone is there is a big plus, but truth deserves better. Can't save the election process if we can't save the truth.
