Good. Sometimes it takes that much pain to finally get top management off their asses. Or to get people to admit a problem really exists.

Problem is not how long it took to fix the problem. The problem is that the problem still exists. Still exists (even worse in other places) because the powers that be are so dumb (or purchased). If you think MN was bad, some still use Diebold voting machines. That should be noted in your every post. MN is only a warning of what may happen and would be necessary in a future presidential election.

Foolish is to blame time necessary to create a cure. That blame is called curing symptoms. If this voting problem is not fixed, then yes, it might be necessary to not have a president for many months only because .... 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. Bad top management needs things this bad before even admitting a problem exists. A problem so severe that Diebold voting machines, for example, should be banned from all future elections starting tomorrow.

Notice what it took to finally get Rick Wagoner out of office. Incompetence is not limited to auto executives. The problem is not how long it took to fix symptoms. The problem is the problem itself. Where is a solution defined, or even outlined, in your post? Instead you would subvert the many month process required to fix what bad management created?

MN is simply a canary in the coalmine. The following pain must be suffered because of that problem. Was it painful enough? Where are the bills calling for banning of all Diebold voting machines? Apparently it was not painful enough.
