Questions about elections and justice. very detailed, and thoughtful responses welcome.?
Here is a situation I would like suggestions on:
In a recent class officer election, one candidate (A) withdrew after the ballots were printed. Some of the people working the polling place were notified, some were not. The withdrawn candidate earned 5 votes. The difference between the top two vote earners (B and C) was 3 votes. A fourth candidate (D) got only a few. The question is: Should a run-off occur, since some of the people who voted for the withdrawn candidate could have voted for the for B, who lost by only three votes? Or, should the votes remain as they stand?

There should be a re-vote if there was something was out of balance...
Everyone in the country has a right to a vote.

It depends on how the rules were set up prior to the voting taking place. Perfect example, Michigan and Florida. There were rules set up ahead of those primaries and the delegates of those two states violated the rules. Now many are trying to blame Obama for something he has no control over. Hitlery, with her big mouth is trying to miscontrue the pitfalls of the delegates of those two states by somehow blaming Obama for the mess that "they" created, not Obama.
It depends on how the rules were set up "ahead of the voting process".
Hope this has helped.
