27972: lyall (comment) too late to do the run-off? (fwd)





From: Jd Lyall <postmaster@lyalls.net>

So, is it too late to do the run off election?
I was saying to myself that forcing thru a political solution to the screw up in the election was not a good idea.

Preval could have told everyone to calm down, there were problems with interference with the ballots, but the published rules need to be followed and everyone go out and vote again in six weeks.

On another but related subject;
All those blank ballots were actually for Titid, no? First he told people not to register; when they disobeyed and registered anyway they were told to cast blank ballots. One third of ballots at some stations down town were blank? That sounds about right.

Even a blind man can see that all those people who celebrated at the departure of Titid two years ago and who now are voting for Preval are not asking Titid to return to pouvwa.
