the ultimate election result will have about as much popular legitimacy as the OJ trial result. I've had that thought too. Mix that with the apparent split between the rural part of the country (fly over country?) and the two coasts and it is not a pretty picture. One of a country having a wedge driven into it and breaking it apart.I don't know if it could become as serious as the early 1800's but I don't want to find out. cak@feelingarepolarizing.gov

Anyone who has survived a semester full of Gov jocks certainly deserves my respect (and pity). And if I could get into a first-tier law school in CT, believe me, I'd be there. White hetero male, mediocre grades... no way. The way I see things, I'll need to wait ten years to apply (bad grades take about as long to expire as bad credit). When investigating alleged improprieties, the question isn't "were there any," but "were there any, and if so, might they have affected the outcome." If the answer is yes on both counts (and I believe this would be extraordinarily rare), they should be looked at. If this had happened in Texas, no one would care, and it would be inappropriate for a court to review it. The real issue isn't the size of the discrepancy, but the size of the discrepancy as compared to the ultimate margin. To my mind, the issue would be no different if 1,900,000 ballots were thrown out, with a margin of 20,000, as opposed to 19,000 and 200, respectively.
