I was struck by Arnebeck
Advertisements [?]
For me, the high moment of the hearings was when Arnebeck described the situation in terms of Florida 2000.

To paraphrase him, he said that in 2000, the approach was to certify and inaugurate the candidate first, and count the vote later. The newspapers counted the votes and discovered that GORE HAD WON FLORIDA.

Excellent thing to say in public. I don't remember hearing that one out loud before, or seeing it in print from the mainstream except in very covert pockets of news coverage.

Arnebeck continued that this must not happen again. We want to see the correct winner certified before the inauguration, and not allow the wrong person to be inaugurated again because of successfully executed fraud. That is the purpose of his lawsuit.
