Every 2 years the observers come from the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights to monitor our elections. However they never show up until a couple of days before we vote. They then issue a report saying everything is fine. The problem is that in America the election fraud occurs months ahead of the election. Maybe what we need to do is start gathering evidence and presenting it to them. Maybe if they were made to understand how the American electorally system actually works they might start dealing with reality and condemn our process for the joke that it actually is.

Richard!

Maybe, the Barr campaign could use this in their lawsuit. The judge is saying that the deadline for clerks is irrelevant. The clerks can check the signatures, or not, at their leisure. It is only the state deadline in Augusta that counts.

If so, then the Secretary of State’s instruction to clerks NOT to check signatures would fly in the face of this ruling.

Of course, the government wants to have it both ways. But, it’s worth a try.

Let’s start a petition to impeach this unqualified joke of a judge.

Just more proof that the roster of the Big Dogs club is full. Indies and alternative parties need not apply. This week’s [September 22nd] Newsweek has ‘distrust of Ole Boys Club and DC Beltway’ woven all through the [What Women Want] issue.

I’m trying to get the decision. If I succeed I will have more details. I know it was 22 pages. According to the newspaper story, the judge said, “There is no excuse for procrastination”, but I don’t know whether he meant on the candidate’s part (which wouldn’t make sense) or whether he meant the town clerks. In any event, it sounds like grist for Bob Barr’s lawsuit against the Texas Secretary of State.

Or was there some other reason for this ruling? Some procedural issue of some kind?

She MUST appeal this ruling if possible. This means that any politically motivated town clerk can act to keep a candidate off the ballot just by not checking the candidate’s signatures.

If you don’t like the candidate, just don’t bother to check the signatures. The Kangaroo Courts don’t care.

Bad news for Barr’s lawsuit I would assume.
