OT...simple question -
Is it fair for one group (FLA or Palm Beach) of people to be allowed to REvote, with the additional knowledge of the outcome of all other states?

Basically, the initial cries of unfairness were centered on one state making the decision, which wasn't true because that state voted at the same time as all other states.
In this revote scenario, potentially, ONE COUNTY or ONE STATE would actually make the deciding vote....with full knowledge of their role.
Would absentee ballots have to be sent out again? That would delay results for months.
It's a seemingly unfair scenario no matter how you cut it. That is why electoral law is designed as it is...to accept occasional irregularities. But to allow for challenges when those irregularities are heinous.

Based on previous elections, the results are not so off base, and the irregularities are less heinous than past votes. That should be the standard of judgement.
