Defying a court order over the execution of his duties? It's a non-violent offense. All he has to do is say he is appealing, and send a representative to a hearing. Even if he didn't show up, the most that the judge can do is send someone to make him show up. And once the election is over, the suit is rendered moot.

The only way that he will be arrested is if the feds after the election find that there was organized, deliberate criminal conspiracy. For instance, finding an email that says that they will send the patch as an experimental program deliberately rather than submit it through channels, since they know it would fail that way.

You need a smoking gun. Believe it or not, those are more common than you think. Still uncommon, but still happens. Look at the emails that are found every time some Wall Street Bank is caught with their hand in the cookie jar. The LIBOR scandal had people fully and casually admitting to manipulating the LIBOR rate, i.e. smoking guns...

JZ, ZenKitty, hello. It has been a while. Just logged on yesterday, first time in a long while, and have been lurking a bit. Then came up something that I actually knew, and well...

OK, WTF? I just saw Breitbart's site tweet that the Amish will decide Ohio and PA.

Why, 'cause they're the only ones not using effed up electronic voting? Might have an ID issue, though. The white thing probably trumps that.

That is some crack smoking right there.

For a moment, I thought you guys were talking about Andrew Breitbart and I'd missed the start of the zombie apocalypse.

ION, I love the NYTimes Electoral College tool. It's fun! And useful! (Make sure you go to step 2 with the floating bubbles.)
