>>Just for the record, could you go through that again? I'm a little confused by the tenses. The commission is 'about to appoint' vs the unseated democrat 'took the seat at the first opportunity'. I assume maybe it's two different things, but I have to admit, I'm a bit lost.

>>Alllriiight!!! John Harvey says I'm sane. I'm going to hold you to that in later debates. ;)

>Well, it's a little confusing, even to me. She got seated "provisionally" but we were able to prove there were enough problems with the votes (dead people), felons, people registered at vacant lots, etc. Our senate voted to remove her last Thursday. My guy had the votes to be seated, but he was magnanimus, and turned it down. They will face each other again in November.

Ok, I think I've got it now. Do you know any numbers? I assume with a secret ballot, there is really no way to know who the dead people voted for? How can you actually tell that she was elected based on 'unsavoury' voting practices? Or are you just saying that the entire election should be thrown out and redone?

>On another note, I reworded the song "Walking in Memphis" and titled it "Voting in Memphis" and sent it to the local talk radio guy. He just happens to be friends with Paul Shanklin (the guy who does Rush Limbaugh's parodies). Yep, he did a parody and it is playing on my www.votinginmemphis.com now. It was also played on the local radio show several times today.<g>

I heard it on the web site. Not half bad, I must admit.
