that a generic quote about the MECHANICS of VZ elections, made last year by Jimmy Carter, was in any way operative or relative to the most recent election.

The Carter quote is NOT about "this" election--yet the OP makes a suggestion that the two are related.

My purpose was to clear up the matter and provide the Carter Center's actual POV on THIS election.

They are not nearly as sanguine as the OP would suggest.

Funny, when you have right on your side, there's no need to make spurious associations.
