Total political dictatorship

Remember the Florida 13 race between Democrat Christine Jennings and Republican Vern Buchanan, which Buchanan won with a handful of votes after the 18,000 votes vanished? Jennings has filed a challenge to the results, as was her right. (Buchanan should have done the same, were the situation reversed.)

A voting expert testifying on behalf of ES&S (manufacturer of the machines) admits that error cost Jennings the election. However, he says that the error was the result of poor ballot, not wrongdoing by ES&S.

Tom Feeney's reaction to the court challenge? Prepare to guffaw: "That is total political dictatorship."

No, Tom. You know what's a total political dictatorship? China. Tom's the lobbyist and counsel for a certain company which...
...had harbored at least one illegal alien who pled guilty to charges related to sending Hellfire anti-tank missile chips to Communist China...
Tom's not angry about that treason. He's pissed at Jennings, who wants to exercise her constitutional right to have her day in court. Christine, you Stalinesque bitch!

This is admittedly speculative, but I have a hunch that certain congressional districts were regarded as crucial to the GOP to win by hook or by crook. Florida's 13th, and Feeney's district and the San Diego district in which Bilbray was declared the "winner" I suspect are several of those crucial districts. The reason I suspect certain districts are critical to the GOP (especially port cities) is because they are the physical sites of major illegal activities like narcotics and arms trafficking and money laundering which help finance the party and serve key campaign supporters, and they need a "friendly" Congressperson in these districts to facilitate such operations and protect the crooked perpetrators if they should get caught.

My reading from various sources about such nefarious activities by writers like Pete Brewton, Gary Webb, Robert Parry, et al, lead me to these supsicions/speculations. We shall see in the months ahead whether those hunches prove to be true or not.
