Civics Lesson 101

J. Dillon Hoey
Hoey & Farina Partner

There is one commentator on CNN who constantly suggests that this Presidential election dilemma is a Constitutional crisis.  His “what if” scenarios go on ad nauseam.

When he isn’t proposing his end of the democracy theories, he is suggesting that the whole world is watching and we should do something immediately or we look like the Balkans.

If I might be so bold as to suggest to you this is one of America’s finest hours. The process will be a teaching lesson for all third world countries and the 100 million Americans who didn’t vote.

When all the votes are certified and a winner is declared, anyone who has a real or perceived grievance, and who believes its in his or her best interest, will not raise a militia but will go into a Court of Law and ask for redress.  The court will make a decision. Appellate Courts will review that decision and there will be a final decision.  That decision on implementation of a decree will lead to the conclusion of this Presidential election.

That’s how the system works, its not perfect, it takes time, but it is a hell of a lot better than a civil war. It might take as long as 6 months but that is 3 ½ years shorter than the Civil War we fought.  The system will generate an orderly transition of government and we who voted, no matter who wins, will be proud to be an American.
