Especially now. Especially DURING an election. Point is.....IF they think it necessary to change the law, that law should be changed in an off-election year when everyone is thinking more clearly. What do you bet they'll change it now.....and then IF the scenario is ever reversed, the Dems will change the law again?

This reminds me of what the Florida Supreme Court tried to do in the 2000 election. You DON'T change the election laws in the midst of an election.....all because it will benefit your side. It should NOT be allowed, IMO.
but this sort of thing is tolerated in Massachusetts. It shouldn't be, but it is. If the reverse happened though, the liberals would be crying foul all day long. Everyone knows it.
