One Republican; One Vote
Judge Blocks Washington State Ballot Count0 comments
Repeat after me:
Only Republican votes count.
Only Republican votes count.
Only Republican votes count.
Only Republican votes count....
If you had set aside a box full of Republican district votes, and found them later, they can be counted. If they're Democratic district votes (in this case, from heavily Democratic Seattle), they're obviously fraud.
And that sure-fire line of reasoning leads us to the winner of the Single Stupidest Civics Class Quote from the entire silly 2004 national election cycle:
[Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino] Rossi spokeswoman Mary Lane said the judge made the right decision.
"If King County were allowed to keep adding more ballots, elections would never end," Lane said.
No wonder other countries are slow to embrace our approach to democracy.
I'd shoot anyone who forced this system on me, too.
