Already practiced through voter fraud starting with Al Gore in Florida in 2000 ..............
Let's see if we can recap here.
Al Gore won the popular vote.
Irrelevant that's not how the constitution directs the election of the President and it's one of the last bastions where the government still honors the consitution.
quote:
The electoral vote came down to a state that just happened to have his opponent's brother as Governor.
Irrelevant, Gore only asked for recounts in districts that Democrats had the majority and therefore controlled the polling places.
quote:
The Gore campaign asked for a recount of the close popular vote in that state, which was turned down by Florida's Secretary of State, a Republican who also just happened to be co-chairperson of the Bush campaign staff in that state.
After a lengthy legal battle, the Florida Supreme Court granted a recount.
Despite their states' rights mantra, the Republican Party chose not to abide by the decision of the highest court in the state.
They took their case to the conservative majority of the Supreme Court, which not surprisingly, voted along party lines, overrode the Florida Supreme Court decision, stopped the recount, and awarded the Presidency to Bush.
But Al Gore is guilty of voter fraud?
Try to understand, this is very simple and being used now by Al Franken and in the past by Christie (successfully) in Washington State.
Democrat loses a state by a small amount.
Said Democrat argues for a recount *only* in counties where he/she won by the largest margin.
The Democrat controlled polling place begins taking recounts, maybe the first recount is fair, maybe.
Said polling places alters it's counting rules a bit and recounts again or *finds* ballots. Invariably said Democrat politician gains votes as any relaxing of the rules will statistically add votes to the politician that won the district by a landslide in the first place. This process repeats until the Democrat is ahead.
Said Democrat begins to sue to prevent any further recounts.
Along the way, the opponent sues to prevent this bullshit. In florida's case the supreme court filled with democrat partisan's supported the stealing of the election. The Supreme court reversed that decision, took a load of shit about it and has refused to intervene again so far.
You can replace "said Democrat" with Al Gore, Al Franken, or Christine Gregoire. The former was the pioneer, the latter was successful and Franken is still in play. Al Gore didn't get to the "Said Democrat begins to sue" phase because of the supreme court intervention and also because the cubans went ape shit in one of the major district's he was using in his attempt to steal the election.
Elian Gonzalez cost you guys Florida and the 2000 Presidential election not your fantasies about disenfranchised voters. The cuban election turn-out and the support they gave George Bush was far higher than the margin of the legitimate count. God does work in mysterious ways. One sacrificed little boy saved this country from having Al Gore in the White House when 9/11 occurred.
*DEMOCRATS* created the controversial butterfly ballot.
*DEMOCRATS* controlled the polling places where the punch machines were used and hanging chads only occur in those machines when multiple ballots (ie fraud) are inserted in those machines.
Our polling system is a disgrace.
edited to fix quoting and color bleed.
Another edit:
I forgot, Al Gore *did* sue to prevent late absentee ballots from overseas military personnel from being counted. There's overriding federal legislation to allow those votes to count regardless of state laws.
