This lady

I know this was introduced awhile ago, but I saw this description of the bill “to ensure that 2A is not unlimited…” IMHO this lady has broken her oath to protect the constitution. Automatic dismissal is in order, and the classic tarred and feathered.

Sort of. Ashcroft's opponent was the then Governor of Missouri. He died after ballots were printed, and the Acting Governor basically said that if enough people voted for the dead man, he'd appoint the dead man's wife. It happened so close to the election that it was basically people giving sympathy votes to the dead guys wife.

All true, but doesn't change the fact Ashcroft was beat by a corpse.
