19. But who interprets state law?
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 12:47 AM by Bill Bored
In FL, there's supposed to be a law requiring paper recounts. But they have DREs without paper ballots. Robert Wexler sued the state, or county, or Teresa LePore, or some other Jeb Bush hack, and so far has lost. This means there's a FL court somewhere in one of those swamps that said, rightly or wrongly, that he didn't have a case or couldn't prove it or the law wasn't violated or whatever. So does the Congress have a right to come in and tell the failed state of FL what to do in this matter? I don't know. Lots of debates about states' rights, aren't there?
