Reuter's reported that after the initial order keeping the precincts in question open until 10:00PM CST that the Republican party went to the US Court of Appeals and got an order closing the polls down at 8:00 PM CST, one hour later than they were supposed to close. I saw the story on Yahoo and it is presumably on others as well since Reuter's is the source. If Ashcroft does lose becsuse of this it raises the interesting question of who do you concede to when the opponent is a dead man? -- On Tue, 7 Nov 2000 23:08:58 Tim May wrote:

It looks like the extra 3 hours did the job in the Democrat-heavy precincts. The dead man, Mel Carnahan, has narrowly edged-out John Ashcroft.
By the way, none of the news services I can find are reporting the "overturning" of this extension some have reported here...anyone have solid dope on this heavily-doped race?
I know the Democrat criminal Richard Daley rigged it so that dead people would vote for the criminal JFK (terminated with extreme prejudice a few years later), but now we have the spectacle of Democrat criminals keeping the voting booths longer in Democrat zones so that a dead man could _win_.
