10. Well....
Hi all,

I agree that bringing it to the House where your party is the majority is not ideal at all. I would support any effort on the State or local level to recount or investigate fruad, and a new election in that race would be warranted if the irregularities could have caused this fella a loss.

Just remember that the important thing for all of us is a and consistency and equal protectionb through the process. It doesn't do anyone any good to only support these conditions and values on a party basis.

Bringing it to the House seems dirty, but let's ask to see the allegations ourselves. No, I do not want to see one more Republican on the hill right now, but then again I am not in this individuals District, he would not represent me, and frankly it is not my say.

Just think folks, we have numerous instances were Republicans will support fair, accurate and transperent elections when it benefits their interest. Let's remind them how important consistency and equal protection are in upholding our democratic values. Bush writes letter talking about fair elections in Ukraine. Senator Logan of Indiana challenges Ukraine election based on exit poll data. Washinton governor's race flips to the Republicans by 42 votes after a recount. And now this.

We have plenty that shows that they support these conditions and values when it is them. Let's remind them that these values count when it is not them as well.

Just some thoughts...

Warmly,

George
