David Davis is taking cues from Monty Python. Remember Monty Python and the Holy Grail? There was a scene where they were bringing out the victims of the black death and one guy keeps claiming he isnt dead yet. Thats the guy David Davis is copying. He was defeated in the primary last week and cannot accept it. He is claiming “outside organizations” conspired against him. His challenger, Phil Roe, defeated him by over 400 votes and Davis has contacted a law firm to attempt to “protect the sanctity of the voting process.” Those are the facts as presented by the Johnson City Press and News Channel 5 WCYB. (when I figure out how to link in this thats what Ill do, till then the above is how Im going to cite a source…my apologies)
Now for the opinion section (you cant count the bit about Monty Python, that was purely a hook, I swear): The last time I checked, Tennessee was a state that had open primaries. How could there be an illegal conspiracy by organizations other than the Republican party when anyone can legally vote in the primary? Im sure its true that others, be they democrats or members of third parties, decided they would vote in the primary. That is completely legal, and in my mind morally acceptable as well. To me, this looks like a desperate grasp at straws to save a political career and is absurd on its face.
Give it up Davis..the fight is over..you lost. Take it like a man and move on.
Its rather silly to take it this far. Actually, its worse than silly as now its wasting taxpayer dollars to challenge the results.
