Elmer - Re:"Do you seriously think any attempt to throw out all the absentee ballots because of the status of some of them would withstand an appeal??? You can't throw out valid ballots and they can't separate the invalid ones. This one doesn't stand a chance" Disqualifying all the absentee ballots is indeed an extreme act and has the effect that you mention - eliminating the valid votes along with the invalid. But that is precisely what was done in the Miami mayoral election and it changed the results there too. The action of disqualifying all the ballots, both good and fraudulent (or bad votes if you prefer, but they did result from massive voting fraud in Miami) was approved on appeal. I think that it is very unlikely that the ballots will be disqualified. It is one thing to determine the Miami mayor but it is a huge decision to determine the Presidential election. Very few judges would have the courage.
