Reply #3: I interpret all speakers as being with her on election refrom, Dayton

[McCamy Taylor]

had a good point about the dangers of both bodies launching actual challenges (as opposed to a symbolic challenge in one body). If Kerry had won Ohio with a close vote and the GOPers in Congress had decided to get pissy and claim Democrats voted twice they could have challenged the Ohio electors and overturned the election. Dayton didnt actually explain it in so many words, but I like the idea of the Senate doing a symbolic challenge unless it is going to actually affect the outcome----say it turns out that space aliens took over a state and replaced the electors and Congress finds out in the nick of time or something screwy like that.
