Massachusetts Democrats already changed state law last fall so the governor could appoint a fellow Democrat to fill the seat after Kennedy died in August.
The Fraud Folks in Massachusetts are
planning to delay seating the new Senator.
Secretary of State William F. Galvin, citing state law, says city and town clerks must wait at least 10 days for absentee ballots to arrive before they certify the results of the Jan. 19 election. They then have five more days to file the returns with his office.
Galvin bypassed the provision in 2007 so his fellow Democrats could gain a House vote they needed to override a veto of then-Republican President George W. Bush, but the secretary says U.S. Senate rules would preclude a similar rush today.
Of course, there was a state law that required an immediate special election for the seat, but when Ted Kennedy died, they changed the law to allow the Democrat governor to appoint Paul Kirk in time for the vote on ObamaCare and Cap and Trade.
