The Justice Department is overseeing this election. I wonder who is overseeing the Justice Department?

It doesn't surprise me that the media doesn't report this. Of course, they love reporting on Sanford's hike to Argentina; but they won't say anything negative that could reflect badly on a Democrat.

My big concern is with Colbert-Busch being listed twice on the ballot...as both a Democrat Party nominee and Working Family Party nominee. I read somewhere that all votes for her will be counted together, but that shouldn't be. Her vote should be counted separately by her party nomination. If Sanford gets 45% of the vote and Democrat Party nominee Colbert-Busch gets 39% and Working Family Party nominee Colbert-Busch gets 15% ... Sanford should win. But what I read said the hypothetical 39% and 15% would be added together, giving her the win.

As much as I despise Sanford, this would be a terrible precedent.

I'm sure Fox and CNN will be on that.
