Concession Statement

I would request the Senate to amend the statute of limitations so that, once a runoff election begins, the results of the original election cannot be challenged. (Perhaps challenges to the validity of the whole election should be permitted, but individual votes should at the very least be permitted to stand.) The gap is usually slightly less than one week--plenty of time. We would prevent a repetition of this somewhat farcical sequence of events.

I have altered my Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act (Amendment) Bill with the addition of a sec7ond clause to address this issue. It should be dealt with by the Senate before the next full set of Senate elections.

***Breaking News***Evidence has emerged today that all is not well at Like-a-fishhook News & Media. Editor-in-chief Lewis Trondheim has expressed serious concern at an apparant failing by chief political correspondent Sam Spade regarding research matters in the covering of the recent elections. Media market watchers await with interest to see what (if any) fallout results.
