Courage of the Democrats

Knowing this situation in more detail reconsider their fear that Democrats were simply too scared to do anything about the disenfranchisement of the many voters in Florida, and see that in fact, the resentment of being forced into such a situation could make Democratic leaders take up a stronger measure of courage when given a new opportunity.

Over the last four years, there has been more change and strife in the nation then perhaps ever before. The administration ultimately chosen by the Supreme Court and unchallenged by the Congress, has seeming worked against all efforts to make for a more responsible and transparent election process. The aggressive and determined will of the executive branch and the complicity of a Republican Congress has all but doused the hopes of civilized and diplomatic efforts, made in good faith, to make any changes at all.

In the face of what is retrospectively an impossible attempt to make those changes, perhaps the Democrats decided that their efforts would have to be less civilized and less diplomatic, utilizing any and all means within the rule of law to redress their grievances given to them under the first amendment.

To accomplish such a feat would require an intimate knowledge of the law, and the will to exploit any advantages that could be discovered in the procedures used to express the will of the people.
