They've been told before "with what army are >>you going to enforce your decision". I don't think any other branch of government has ever defied the Supremes, which is remarkable clout for "nine old men." John

The Powerball? If you drive one mile to a store and buy a Powerball ticket then drive one mile back home you are seven times more likely to be killed in an auto accident during the two mile drive than to win the Powerball. You need to have a realistic idea of real risks. I have seen a claim that you are more likely to be killed as a tourist in San Francisco than in Cairo, Egypt. True?

Interesting because all of the FL precincts that had troubles were in Counties where the Dems had majorities on the election boards. Also, despite the demonizing of the Secretary of State, they only have authority to okay machines when used. Which machines and how the ballots are set-up is entirely in the hands of the locals. |
