According to the Constitution we can elect whomever we want, and according to the Constitution we have the right to select our representatives - which certainly precludes having our representatives selected for us because we have to wait 8 hours in line to cast our vote, or because our ballot is tossed out on a technicality, or just thrown away or lost, or not registered or not counted.

The Constitution does say when elections will be held, and how. But the Constitution is - according to the Constitution itself - our charter, as the people, and does not belong to the government. And the government belongs to us, not to the people holding office in our trust and behalf.

So, the people - sufficiently rallied and motivated - can do anything they want to do.

That may seem like a self-evident point, but I think many here are not grasping this and are waiting for "them" - the bosses - to "do" sonething for us.
