Hi Jozef, you should really read all the filings and Judge's text, so I don't have to explain it to you - I can't even post fast enough here to get done with yesterday's post, let alone today's new posts. (edit: sorry, that sounded grumpy?-I didn't mean to be).
RE: "And if the law is ...contradictory, and SOS applies one side, and not the other contradicting it, what are the grounds to decide which part of the law is more important"
She could have ruled without any conflict, as the Judge had hinted when he said he disagreed with her second position (which conflicted with a Statute).
I personally think the non-conflict solution (i.e. not-conflicting with either Statutes) is:
a) Deadline is firm - Tue 5 PM
b) Allow for "late returns" so that the manual count can be finished (edit, but I concur with you that it would be fair if the entire State had a manual count)
She said "yes" to a), but "no" to b).
If she said, "yes" and "yes", I believe that would have obeyed both Statutes.
Btw, I have to go, so I am explaining this very fast - hope it makes sense and has no errors,later, Amy J |
