District 4- questionable result

[7,052,770]

This is how I feel:
Democratic Hawk didn't change his vote, he simply edited his post.  I'm definitely going to talk to some advisors and consider challenging it.

Democratic Hawk PMed me and said he wants to challenge in court.  So apparently he is planning to sue for his voting rights.

After deleting his own vote?  This stinks of bullsh**t.  He basically destroyed evidence if he wants to go to court, meaning that he is in violation of federal law.  You cannot destroy evidence.

I don't think he really knew what he was doing, but we all saw and we all know how he voted....We really shouldn't get bogged down in such picky technecalities.

King just won the biggest mandate in history!

Anyways, I dunno.  Given that the initial rule, as I understand it, was that no posts should be edited, even if the official law was unclear, I personally think that we should just go with that, let WMS win, and then introduce some voting reform into the Senate in an attempt to fix this the democratic way (maybe that could be my first project in the Senate ).  Of course, I can't stop anyone from taking this to court if they so choose and have legal standing, but I don't really think it's good for the country to have at least one controversy over whether or not votes X and Y are valid after every single election.  We need solid, unambiguous rules in the Constitution that we can simple point to and say, "This is how it is".  I would really like to see Harry win, as I felt that he was a good Senator, so don't get me wrong, but I really feel that this is getting a bit much.

well the case is based on precedent, so it's not a new thing.

We are already bogged down in technicalities.  I will simply turn it up a notch.

Anyhow, there's no point in us debating it here because all that matters is what happens in the Court.

anyway, I'll reiterate that I'm not personally going to challenge the vote.  But if Democratic Hawk wants to, and he's told me he does, I'll support him in it.  But if Demohawk decides not to, or if he does and the SC rules against him, I'll concede.
There's no need for anyone to make any personal attacks on me regarding this.

If he is so angry, why hasn't anyone heard a word from him?  For that matter, why did he delete his vote?

We have heard a word from him; he posted here asking if he could challenge and ColinW told him absolutely not.
He also PMed and said he wanted to.
