Does any one person have the ability to recast an election from non partisan to partisan merely by a single act or statement? One should question a system where one person or entity has such power, i.e., the ability to override the voice/intent of the people.<br /><br />I seem to be the only one out here who believes that this was not the intent of the framers of the Hatch Act. I believe that Nihart should have run for CC, irrespective of this perverted interpretation of the Hatch Act. And, if need be, she should have challenged this misinterpretation of the Hatch Act in a court of law where she would have ultimately prevailed. <br /><br />I will always believe that it was Nihart's ambition to hold higher office in the future that led to her decision to bluff us and the SMCDCC. Listen, don't be embarrassed if you bought it. It was well conceived, and, you are not alone...
