Re: [Dems2008] Re: Obama doesn't want a revote in MI. Here are his reasons.

IMNSHO $30mil is NOT a miniscule amount... especially considering most states are scraping by as is... As for private funding.... do we really want private funding of elections? Doesn't that just scream for allegations of vote fraud...

In any case... most people think it's not the cost but rather the time... Most county clerks in Michigan (the ones that ACTUALLY run the elections) say that there just isn't enough time to set up all the voting machines, have an election in the beginning of June and then turn around and set them all back up again for another election in November... Personally I don't know what takes so long to set up the voting machines, but it's a refrain I hear all over...

Slainte,

What is the difference between not counting Florida and splitting it to
make it have no effect? To give the delegates a free trip?

50/50 should be turned down.

It apparently costs a miniscule $30 million to hold elections in these
two states. that is a fraction of what we are spending in general.

Attempts to not allow people to vote remind me of arguments in Gore vs
Bush.

Why should Hillary pay to have vote in her favor counted for her?

Why so little care that people get to vote?
