I’m confused. It seems that John’s answer was very clear from the snipped quotes above.


It’s clear? Did he mean Marshal Law the comic? Martial law? I’m so confused... ;-)

  
1. “A delay for logistical reasons would be valid.” Expanding on John’s point, I would suggest that something such as Dave’s hypothetical about a power outage that shut down voting in certain regions would require a delay. Anything more than a few days would, however, be unacceptable.

I think Dave!’s scenario implies a longer term than “a few days”, otherwise there isn’t a lot of point to the question. Basically John is restating the question into one that allows him a more palatable answer. The answers he gives in themselves are perfectly valid for the scenarios he spins, but I think they carefully avoid the real meat of the question.
