Did they not say they didn't need to keep the digital ballots of the vote tallys of electronic voting?

How are they going to recount?

And as is typical in English, there are no hard and fast rules in it. Knee jerk trained Internet grammar nazis may rush to put their noses in the air at the first sign of two negatives in a sentence, but there are usages where it is acceptable if the application doesn’t result in a contradictory statement. Which is the case here, as they take place in different clauses with an ancillary verb.

For example, there are many litotes that use this technique to express themselves.


Now are you going to comment on the court ruling on the very subject yesterday (?) that dismissed an injunction to maintain total traceability for recount purposes or will you want to continue to discuss abstract and fluid grammar rules.

Nah. Just judging you is all.

So the fact that double negatives do exist in correct grammar is irrelevant to your automatic rejection to a (parsed) sentence the second you see a double negative in any form.

Okay.

Carry on judging me. Should be a hoot.

It is a hard rule for proper usage. You get beaten in Catholic school for this.

Negating the opposite of what you intend is not the same as using a double negative.

Irregardless of that, anyone going to comment of the impediment to any recount attempts?

ETA: By the way, I double checked.

Catholic school beatings aside (which I attended anyway), double negatives aren’t against the rules, especially for casual speech of this forum. Please tell me an alternative interpretation of what I typed that honestly fits.

For instance, “There isn't no other way!“ is very different from “I don’t disagree” as far as “proper” speech goes. But both are double negations.

Actually yes, kind of. Clinton conceeded. However it has been noted that Clinton staying in the public light is a weight on the Democrats going forward.

Okay.

But if Roy pays; they can determine that with a recount is all the OP says.

Moore is the gift that keeps on giving. Dems hope he stays in the limelight as long as possible.

If the gap was in the auto recount range they could employ the democRat strategy of counting until your guy wins. That's how Franken got in.

But it's just too wide here.

The best course here is to regroup, form a new battle plan and get Mo Brooks in 2 years.
