] A judge in Glynn County voided the election results in an
] education board race after a poll worker posted a
] misleading sign. Just a note on the present hysteria over election postponement, which I believe has riled up some democrats for no reason other then because someone in the administration proposed it. We reschedule elections when people accidentally post misleading signs. You would think a terrorist attack would be a little more serious then that. [ I wouldn't say I'm riled up, but I still question the functional outcome of such a delay. There's a fundamental limit on how many days it could be pushed back without amending the rules to let the president stay longer or else pass power to congress somehow. All of the shenanigans seem to add up to not worth it, especially since i think any major attack will affect people's voting proclivities for months, rendering a delay somewhat pointless. As i've said, in cases of public safety, where a known (or believed with high probability) threat exists, then action must be taken, but i just really think the effort spent on this exceeds it's worth. But what do i know, let's go for it. We'll make elction day v.2 sometime in early december and if some bullshit happens in november we can all go back later. I still think it'd be beneficial to spread voting out over a longer time frame, like days, but the logistical issues of keeping results secret for that long may render such a change impossible. If not everyone has to vote on the same day, any delays or validity concerns are mitigated somewhat. Anyway, i've hardly heard talk of it recently... the strikingly well timed Berger incident is overshadowing pretty much everything else. -k] On terrorist attacks and elections |
