If ever there was an argument for lowering the drinking age back to 18, or at
least 19, this raid provides it.
According to the WDN none of the arrested minors
were less than 18 years old. One can assume that most if not all were

Gene,
I don't think i made the point, inadvertently or otherwise FOR the electoral

Interesting questions.

To address two of your concerns about a re-vote:
First) It would be fairly easy to make sure that a person who didn't vote on
the 7th
would not be allowed to vote in a re-vote.
When you vote you have to sign the voting register right?
