He didn't need to take up arms. All he had to do was to demand that all votes sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #43
He took it legally all the way nadinbrzezinski Oct 2012 #45
See posts below. He should have insisted on a state wide recount sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #48
Remember the SCOTUS overruled the State Court. nadinbrzezinski Oct 2012 #49

How so? Orangepeel Oct 2012 #17
Surely it would have resulted in a more accurate and indisputable vote count. win_in_06 Oct 2012 #26
IDs just get you into the booth. The counting problems I'm aware of happened after that point. Gidney N Cloyd Oct 2012 #27
I don't see how. Orangepeel Oct 2012 #39
Don't be naive, the ID is just one tool of many ecstatic Oct 2012 #83
