2. NV: A Reader Gives Us the Real Low Down on this Story
This gal or guy has it right. Amazing!

Something really smells about this whole thing. Sun Sep 03, 2006 9:53 am


If Sharron Angle really felt there was a problem with the election, the proper course of action would be a recount. But that costs money and, with Dean Heller being Secretary of State, the election result would surely not change. I know - our voting machines have voter verified paper trails. Unfortunately, all this provides is a false sense of security for the voter. Once the electronic vote tallies are sent to the main tabulator, anything can happen. And nobody would dare steal an election. It has never before happen I am sure. Those pesky exit polls are never wrong – except since 2000 when exit polls never match the results from those electronic vote stealers. But I digress.

Getting back to the lawsuit – even I can read the Nevada Revised Statutes. Clearly a big time lawyer could easily turn to NRS 293.407, which states that the election for Senator and Congressperson cannot be contested. What is really scary is Judge Bill Maddox’s ruling. The only pertinent entry in our Constitution regarding this matter is Article 1 Section 2. Basically. A House member is ‘chosen every second Year by the People’. Nowhere in our Constitution does it state how an election is conducted nor how to contest an election nor does it state that the House of Representatives has jurisdiction on these matters. Furthermore, our 10th Amendment states “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”. This advances the fact that indeed a judge does have jurisdiction. However, as previously stated, the only proper ruling from this judge is to state NRS 293.407 – you cannot contest an election involving the Senate and House race.

I wonder if this ruling has something to do with the Busby-Bilbray congressional election in California. Basically a judge stated that even though the election results were not certified (thus the true winner is therefore unknown) the so-called winner was sworn in by the Republican Speaker of the House. The judge cannot do anything about it. So lets look at the possibilities of this one. On election night, before the pools close, an election official states casually, ‘looks like so-and-so is winning’. That person flies to Washington and sworn in. Yes, welcome to the Banana Republic of America.

Finally, what Sharron Angle could have done was cite NRS 293.465. Paraphrasing, if an election is prevented in a precinct due to loss of ballots or any other reason, a new election in those precincts must be conducted. What people do not understand is that it is very easy to do statistical analysis to see how people vote, when, and how to subtle enable an election to be changed. Yes, all that information is stored, and yes, 400+ votes are easy to analyze. It would be my opinion that the Washoe County Registrar of Voters actions where highly negligent. When an appointed person is responsibly for insuring free and transparent elections, and when polling places do not open on time, we need to get someone else into that position you can get the job done correctly. There are no excuses for a polling place to not open.

Maybe this all deals with our elections in November...?
