Headslappingly Obvious: "Revoting" is Undemocratic

I guess I’m just old-fashioned. The answer is “no,” both practically and theoretically. No one seems to be talking about a revote here in MI, yet. Do we count (again)? Or is it just FL, where we all know they know how to count votes, and when those counts matter. This whole nightmare is just annoying the hell out of me. But I guess that’s life in a banana republic- what a fun show your elections become! Honestly, part of me is really rebelling at the thought that Serious People are seriously considering, during a race that is too close to call a “revote.” WTF. Is that like “second virginity?” The whole point of a staggered primary is that some races are different. If/when I vote, again, I still won’t get to cast my ballot for my choice. When it could’ve made a difference, I was denied that right.* Now that I don’t care, I get to “choose?” History is laughing at you, DNC. And anyway, the whole idea of a Republican gov doing the Dem party “favors” is just stupid, but I guess our leaders have never read about Trojan Horses or that sort of thing.  Read more
