Back essay by Carl Pridemore
Now we have a recount where the intention of the voter is to be decided. Who is deciding intent? Each county’s election board will make that decision. Wait a minute. The county election board is determining the manner of voter intent? Is that equal protection under the law? Is it even supported by law? I don’t think so. We should look at the law. This is from the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 2.
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
Wow, that says clearly, election laws are to be written by each state’s own legislature? You do remember there was a certified, legal election?
Remember watching the process on television? Five or six people were holding up the voter cards and trying to reach consensus on the intent of the voter. It was subjective. It was also very time consuming.
Team Gore knows time is running out. What do you mean time is running out? Well, each state’s electoral board is required to vote on the same day. But every vote must be counted, right?
