Reply #5: I wish there was a legal precident or policy about a "spoiled" election

You'd think that with all the things they put into the constitution, they would have had something in there about what to do if the election had problems.

For example, what if a huge storm ruined many of the ballots before they were counted?

What if someone used force to steal some of the ballots?

What if there were allegations that someone replaced the real ballots with fake ones?

What if electronic voting machines showed thousands of irregularities and problems and there was no way to verify if they worked or not?

I say, there should be something in the constitution to account for widespread problems with an election. Whether it's an act of God or a theif, there should be certain conditions that call for a revote.
