Jonathan said: "Shouldn't the "will of the people" prevail? This is what the people (Which Phyllis and her compatriots are claiming to represent by now suing the same people to get early elections, "for the good of the people") wanted, shouldn't that be allow to stand?
I say: Phyllis evidently feels that the law or at least the spirit of it has been violated as it relates to the city council election. When this issue is in the court room, no one will be debating whether or not it is a GOOD IDEA idea to force a new election. They will be debating whether a new election is REQUIRED under the current state law. If the attorney representing Phyllis and others win the law suit then I would say it proves that the current situation isn't lawful and that an election should then be held. We can debate all day all the could a should a would a's of the issue but the law will determine how this will all be rolled out. If people aren't happy with the law they way it is written then they should organize and change it.
