Reply #7: I was one of the groups who met with his office.

I understand his position. I didn't at first, but I do now.

Some have said he should have "said nothing"; I thought so at first as well. Then I realized that by stating that there was a possibility of setting a dangerous precedent, he got that concern into the record and made it quite clear that he was concerned that the electorate could get "disenfranchised" altogether if the power to object were to be abused. Without the indisputable proof/evidence of fraud, the Republicans would have made mincemeat out of both the Democrats and the process, and would have found a way to turn this process against us in the future.

Dayton is a smart man and he understands the strategy. I am still 100% in his camp and I will continue working with his office locally on election reform. In addition, I will work on his re-election.
