Florida Follies: Jennings and the ACLU Fight Back

It won’t surprise you at all, but guess what’s likely to be one of the last acts of the 109th Congress? eVote Fraud ’certification.’ Brad’s got more:

With Christine Jennings (D) contesting the results of Florida’s 13th congressional district race in court, “it is increasingly likely that the contest for the open Florida 13th district seat could end up before the House Administration Committee, which has oversight over federal elections,” reports Roll Call.

Here’s the process: if a candidate contests the race before the committee, “two majority members and one minority member” investigate and then the committee recommends a course of action. “That recommendation is voted on by the full panel and sent to the House floor for consideration just like any other bill that is reported out of a committee.”

“Because the Democrats do not take control of the House until Jan. 3, it is likely that any investigation by House Administration would be launched while Republicans are still in charge — meaning the GOP will have the 2-1 majority on the investigating committee. But by the time the full House would be asked to seat the new Member, the Democrats would be in the majority.”

Good to see the ACLU, People for the American Way, and Jennings doing what the Democratic party better start taking seriously next year. I feel so sorry for the people of Florida; their election officials are truly odious.
