>"It was the intent of the legislature to meet the safe harbor"
It is well established that state laws are interpreted by the highest state judicial authority, the state supreme court, which allowed the count to go forward. The US Supreme Court knows this. By interfering, the US Supreme Court bypassed the US Constitution. If there were no problems with it it would not have been declared "not to be used as a precedent".
It was also done in a panic, to avoid obvious problems, rather than proceeding deliberately and taking in information from the complete numbers, which would have been available in a few days.
It was a whitewash
Combined with the hired thugs to disrupt the count, it was an unseemly display of insider power used to manipulate the system in ways not often publicly seen.
No matter. It was a good bellweather of things to come, and an excellent way to expose the inner workings to see who in politics and the media commented, what they said, and how they lined up, and who is on the payroll. Out of it came a few independent thinkers, mentioned previously. |
