the possibility of a citizens' arrest initially, but it seems to me that there is a lot of sense in what you say, Red State Blues.

The idea that the law, even in the most advanced democracies (and in US elections, any and every electoral crime, however outrageous, seems to be initially touted as "political" and, when it suits them and they think they can get away with it, the laws themselves, as mere "pieces of paper"!) is not created, *directed* and maintained by some very louche individuals in high places, is simply naive. If your lawyers express their approval, even tacitly, that's different. Try and get an opinion.

If it comes to making a citizen's arrest, at least bear in mind now, the kind of forces you will likely be dealing with, and that there is already a wealth of damning evidence your lawyers have already brought to the attention of the courts. It seems to me inconceivable now that the cover-up will not explode in their face. Success can only be delayed, not thwarted.
