Do you care to point out a single case in this country where one candidate on the ballot died, was elected, and the second place candidate was then given the seat? When it comes to a precedent for either an appointment or a new election, there's more precedent for that. Another example: Gladys Spellman had a heart attack days before the election and she went into a coma. She was re-elected and then in February 1981, the House decided to remove her due to her illness (since she was still in a coma) and then they called an election. As for fighting being a headache.. well, it would be a huge headache. You already had a majority of voters who voted for Mel Carnahan, and then you'd have Ashcroft supporters who wouldn't be for such actions either. Which means Ashcroft's career would be ruined. As well, the only time to really sue to get Carnahan off of the ballot would have been before the election. But, that wouldn't go over well either. Plus, state law says that he had to remain on the ballot. So you either go for him being on the ballot, or for a pissed off populace voting for his widow and sending you to the unemployment line for trying to get Mel off of the ballot. These are some of the states which had closer Presidential races in 2000 than Missouri (Missouri's margin was 78,786 votes or 3.34 percent between Bush and Gore Arkansas (50,172 votes, 5.44%) - Bush Iowa (4,144, 0.31%) - Gore Minnesota (58,607, 2.40%) - Gore Nevada (21,597, 3.55%) - Bush New Hampshire (7,211, 1.27%) - Bush New Mexico (366 votes, 0.06%) - Gore Oregon (6,765, 0.44%) - Gore Wisconsin (5,708, 0.22%) - Gore If Florida had been normal. I doubt the lawyers would be going to St. Louis first. Do you have any more info on who this non-existant person was? (or was claimed to be) 11/8/2000 (Post-Dispatch) with the coverup I'd say that the process of how the election was conducted in St. Louis was pretty damned bad. Post-Dispatch, 1/13/01 Basically, the operation was run in a lousy matter. If Miss Hanaway's claims are true, then heads needed to roll. If you are working in a polling place on Election Day. You get your stuff ready by 6am. Anything less is just negligence. Any proof of this? Articles to be filed somewhere in this discussion: St. Louis Post Dispatch, 9/25/2004 Post-Dispatch, 7/26/01 Post-Dispatch, 7/29/01 Post-Dispatch, 11/6/2001 Post-Dispatch, 11/8/2000 and this is coming from a KC native who is pulling for the Astros to go to the World Series

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS they should do a horror autobio on Kane make it so Kane is part wrestler, part serial killer. And put Paul Bearer in it too

Now.. if they have 6 digit security codes.. how can they have over a million votes? is the security code just there to stop scripts?

here's my line Benoit v. HHH Orton/Flair - Submission match Snitsky/Kane - Pipe match Jericho/Stevie Eugene/Bischoff - Loser wears a dress for a month Divas - School Girl Outfits Christy/Carmella - Evening Gown

if they're not rigging these polls.. then that'll be hiliarious

Nonetheless, Carnahan was a cadaver. And Ashcroft COULD have sued and won in court --- since Carnahan could not handle the single most basic requirement of office, namely living in MO. -=Mike He could have possibly won. But Mel Carnahan met all the requirements at the filing deadline and the deadline to withdraw. And when his term began, his wife was appointed (effective at the beginning of the term) to fill his seat until 2002. Hale Boggs and Nick Begich (to name two) won re-election after dying in a plane crash. Special elections were held to fill their seats. In those cases, they wouldn't be citizens of their states if Carnahan wasn't. I don't think there's legal precedent for Ashcroft to sue and get re-elected on those grounds. Plus, it'd be unpopular in the state. The St. Louis in 2000 incident was unusual. I've also heard some claims that they closed that one station early. But then again, it wasn't a deciding factor in Carnahan, nor Bob Holden's victories. (Remember, Holden's margin of victory in the Governors race over Jim Talent was 21,000 votes. Carnahan beat Ashcroft by 49,000 votes) Something makes me really doubt that 49,000 people voted at one polling station in the 90 minutes (or so) that it was open
