I believe the Democrats have shown a way to have a second chance to win the presidency. In their challenge to Bush’s win in Ohio, I wonder what would have happened if the Republicans had not had a majority in both houses of congress.
This means that in 2008, if the Republicans retain their senate and house majorities and they lose a close presidential race, they can challenge the voting results in close states that went to the Democrat. Since they would have majorities on both houses of congress, they can disqualify the votes from those states and sweep the Republican into the Presidency.
Since it would be the Republicans doing it, the Legacy Media would have a fit. But it appears it would be legal. From 2000 forward, the votes don’t count as much as the resulting court cases, how good ones lawyers are and if you have judges leaning in your favor.
It’s a brave new world in our representative democracy.
