CDR: RE: Courts interfering with election
Ernest Hua has asked me to call him a numbskull directly. Apparently he did not like my "someone" reference. So I am obliging.
And he says he will not send me anything he doesn't mind having shared with the rest of the list. And in a later message he defended the St. Louis legal action by saying "The new rules do not say "Republicans not allowed during those two hours".
His message follows: At 5:44 PM -0800 11/7/00, Ernest Hua wrote:
Look, if you want to call me a "numbskull" feel free to do that to me directly. And, I will surely not send you something I am not willing to share with the rest of the list. You aren't that special.

The real question is why weren't there enough polls to take care of the number of people who want to vote -- it's not just St. Louis, the same thing is happening in many places. In most states, however, the polls are just staying open. If you have a line of people waiting to vote, how dare they close the polls? The people should take the polling officials outside and hang them from the nearest lamppost if they try to close the polls. Not providing enough places to vote is on the same par as requiring a poll tax or any of the other criminally enacted laws designed to frustrate voters.

And what is wrong with simply closing the lines at the closing time. Put a cop or other official at the end of the line and say: "You arrived at 8:01. Polls are closed. Everyone ahead of you will be allowed in to vote, but you are too late." --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
