The things I've had to defend over the last year related to democracy and elections are things I never expected to have to defend.

See 9th Cir en banc decision that 2003 Cal recall election must go forward as scheduled even given concerns about punchcard ballots.

i filed a brief in that case! why did I not remember it in this context?

The fact that voting had begun was an important factor. If it wasn't 5:30 in the morning where I'm at I would track it down myself.

yes I just reread it. somewhat different procedural posture

I don't think the desire to cancel the election is to stop the Democrat from winning - it's to stop Moore from winning. Regardless, I agree with you. If Moore does get elected, he should be immediately ejected from the Senate after he's seated.

Even being cynical, it's in the GOP's best interest that he loses.

I have never been cool with Moore. He’s exactly the opposite of everything I stand for as a Republican. Please - you don’t know what I think, so ask me first instead of making wild assumptions, okay?

They don’t care about setting bad precedent. I mean denying President Obama’s the right to seat Garland was unthinkable, and yet here we are.

What penalty have the Republicans faced for election, suffrage, judicial theft?

They shouldn't cancel. His name can't be removed. It should proceed. If Moore wins, Alabama owns it. The senate would have to deal with him.

Not gonna happen, Rick. At least the last I heard was that Governor Kay Ivey will not support it.

The better option would be to hold a special special election for residents to reconsider the primary result.
