Reply #106: The number required to win is 270. Without Ohio, Bush doesn't have it

[jmowreader]

Drop Ohio out of the mix and you've got 266 Bush, 251 Kerry. They were so nit-picky about following established election law in 2000 (one of the reasons the USSC decided the way it did in Bush v. Gore was that to do otherwise would push back the certification of the vote past the official date to do so) that we can come in and state that without Ohio's 20 votes no one's passed the official electoral threshold.

Think it can't happen? We're talking about decertifying a major state's electors--something that's never been done at least in my lifetime. If we can pull that off, we can certainly demand that they either recount Ohio or reballot it.

Reballoting would certainly be better for us, especially if we can prove that the Republicans stole the 20 EV in the first place.
