i hope we don't have election by attorney
so much litigation...the courts stayed out of elections (more or less) until last year
now it is becoming pervasive because of all of the confusion
the country is so divided that the winner will have a lot of credibility to earn
of course neither party is blameless. this election should be close, and the less-scrupulous in the parties' lower ranks are doing anything to win.
and then
this quote was dredged up lately, too.
Quote:
"If we do not suppress the Detroit vote, we're going to have a tough time in this election cycle."
-- STATE REP. JOHN PAPPAGEORGE, R-Troy, said this week as he discussed election strategy during a meeting of the Oakland County Republican Party.
"Republicans need to reach into Detroit. I didn't lose the election in Detroit. I wasn't able to maintain the margins I needed in places like Oakland County."

i don't want to lose his context, but it doesn't sound too positive. he has since
apologized, but it is disappointing to hear elected officials speak like this...
sorry if this was already posted, but it's hard to keep up in here these days
