For the record, I expect that Adrienne Wooten will be a very good legislator. I wish we had two decent choices in every race we face. Congratulations to her. (And I'm thrilled to see another woman up there.)

This is good news. I'm not making a judgement of who would be the better choice. The victory here is that this Judge would not set a president by cherry-picking precincts to re-vote. There are always "voting irregularities; however, tere is the provision for the affidavit vote. We do need to fix whatever is broken and I think that voters will have to become better stewards of their voting rights.
