Objection!

By Nathan Nance

Guest post by Nate Nance

Congresswoman Tubbs, D-OH, managed to talk Sen. Barbara Boxer into signing the written objection withher when Ohio's ballots wer being certified during the joint session. I'm watching the 2-hour debate in the House right now. Some Democrats are debating that the objection is right because of voting irregularities that they want addressed, knowing full well that they are not going to overturn the election. And then some Republicans are talking about demagoguery and comparing certain congressmen to Michael Moore because they are extremists.

So this is either a really good day for democracy or a really bad day. It'll probably be a while before I'm sure which one.

You are being asinine in your glee over watching your party make an asinine move. We don't live in a democracy, we live in a republic.

If its a great day for democracy, then it must be some other country you're talking about.

I like the voting integrity act just proposed. State election officials shouldn't be in charge of state presidential election campaigns.
