Blues' election case slammed by judge - TW
By Jimmy Chuang
STAFF REPORTER
Although they did not submit any new evidence yesterday, the pan-blue alliance's attorneys said that the Central Election Commission (CEC) had failed to carry out its duties to maintain a fair and clean election, and demanded that the presidential election be rendered invalid.

The argument by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and People First Party (PFP) alliance's attorneys was not strong enough to persuade the judges, and Taiwan High Court presiding judge Cheng Ya-ping (???) rendered them speechless by responding with questions which she came up with from their own arguments.

Lee Tsung-teh (???), one of the alliance's lawyers, said that the CEC should have immediately suspended the election because voters' decisions might have been affected by "some incidents" that might have twisted the result of the election and made it "unfair."
