Could be a made-up story, but somebody on the TV told of encountering people in other countries who could recite John McCain’s 2008 concession speech word for word because it had been taught as an example of how democracy works.

It would be the King Kong of conspiracies to pull off. Getting hundreds of thousands of poll workers to stay quiet and do a coordinated effort in (I think) thousands of local polling places. It blows the mind how that could happen. And like you said, there have been 9 or 10 suits brought to court (so far) and every one has been tossed for lack of evidence. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 11/8/2020 6:53 AM, Chuck McCown wrote: In a case like this judges will work weekends and nights.

Set in the fading days of the old west with territories becoming states and deciding who to elect as their representatives. Should it be Jimmy Stewart the righteous lawyer, or Lee Marvin the outlaw gang leader? The old fashioned idea that you sent the brightest and best educated person to Washington to represent you. Hah! Politicians are not held in great esteem today, and we would probably vote for Liberty Valance. I assume everyone has seen the movie. It’s an old John Ford western, in fact he shot it in B&W, but it’s a must see. Look at the cast – Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Vera Miles, Andy Devine, Edmond O’Brien, John Caradine, Lee Van Cleef.
