They were well aware the name could not be changed and they figured that would hurt the Republican party as people would refuse to vote for a child molester even if it was actually not Foley they were voting for. That is how the game is played. The Democrats knew the game they were playing when they leaked this information at this late date.

Reinterpretation of election laws is what Gore tried to swing in 2000. Although this time it would serve to better reflect the will of the people, you can't have it both ways. This one is for the State legislature to redo. You could argue whether or not its right or wrong to make changes for this election at this late date. But the argument is moot since the legislature probably would take too long anyway. I have to disagree with the attempt to reinterpret the election laws.

Nice way to re-write the law. What a creative statutory interepretation. Nice way to re-write the law.

It should be all or nothing, though. I don't think it would be acceptable to have the names vary by precinct. But, just to play devil's advocate for a minute... If a judge upheld your interpretation of the statute, wouldn't that constitute "legislating from the bench"? Personally, I agree that the name should be changed if it’s reasonably possible to do so.
