Ridiculous ruling in favor of the Republicans led to this road, why not a coin flip or rock, paper , scissors?
i hope she wins just to shove it in their face. Of course, someone should double check the bowl to make sure her name is actually included.
This could revolutionize future election days. Each candidate gets to place one die in a big jug. Then the jug is shaken and turned upside down. If the dice come up with an odd number, candidate A wins… an even number, and it is candidate B. Nobody has to register, vote or even take off time from work.
Maybe even better, pistols at 10 paces!
Unbelievable!
Under what grounds could this continue after the lottery? The law looked clear.
Whomever loses can request another recount and can keep pursuing court options. It is probably not over either way but if the Dem wins again it would make it more likely that they would just go with it.
Simonds asked the judges to reconsider, but on Wednesday the panel denied her request in strident terms, saying “the right of a citizen to cast a free vote has been secured to us by the blood of patriots.”
“The manifest injustice against which we must always guard is the chance that a single vote may not be counted,” the judges wrote.
The panel went on to conclude that Kobach’s claims of voter fraud everywhere else but here is totally legit.
Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock, please!

That is the most ridiculous bit of nonsense I’ve read this year – and I’ve already read Dumblefuck’s lawyer’s Cease’n’Desist letter to Steve Bannon and parts of Manafor’s civil suit complaint against Mueller.
In order to have her vote counted, there are certain affirmative actions that the voter herself must take: registering to vote, actually going to the polls to cast a vote, and marking the goddamned ballot in accordance with the instructions on it. That ballot is spoiled: there are filled blanks for two candidates.
Election judges are not required to read minds (and should not themselves engage in it)!
That is awesome!
