HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Ho, ho, even. And maybe throw a hee and snort in there, too. If they think that either Congress or Bush II Fraudulency will take on any of these suggestions, then whatever they've got in their heads, it sure ain't brains.
I mean, just take a look at what the Justice department says. They've closed all but 12 complaints coming out of the Florida election. (They don't even mention Tennessee in this report, it seems.) TWELVE. They don't say what "closed" means, but since we haven't heard anything about the Justice department finding the state of Florida in violation of federal elections laws, I would assume that "closed" translates to "dismissed as without merit". And given that all reforms would end up favoring the Democrats, the chances of them getting through the House and His Shrubbery are damn near nil. (Well, actually, the changes would favor increasing turnout and producing more fair elections, but since increased turnout tends to favor Democrats, it's not likely to go anywhere.)
