NH House Plays Stupid
If you read the blog yesterday, you saw that today was going to be a special session of the New Hampshire House to consider what to do about fixing the Primacy Effect problem that we got thrown out by the state supreme court, along with an attempt to consider a state constitutional amendment to strip the court of power to legislate education finance policy.
As predicted, they voted not to deal with the education issue. We'll go through the election now with both parties having an issue to drum against their opponents, while they themselves are to blame for not solving the issue permanently.
However, the really remarkable bit of idiocy was to accept Secty of State Bill Gardner's idiotic proposal to answer the state supreme courts ruling in Aitkins vs. Gardner, by simply giving the primacy effect to people whose names start with letters other than "A". Yeah, that dumb.
Gardners proposal was to alphabetize the list of candidates, rather than place the previous winning party's candidates first, but to get around the Court's admonition against alphabetization by starting with the letter "K" instead of "A". Of course, that this just gives the primacy effect vote bonus to people with K last names rather than A last names did not seem to occur to these idiots.
And, of course, Ralph Aitkins, the Democrats, and the LPNH will take them back to court to make them pull their heads out of their asses and do it right, but that will take at least another year to bring back to court.
