Here are some links to the earliest comments being made regarding the possibility of simplifying all the chaos generated by recent Presidential "leadership" and the resulting electoral uncertainty by merely canceling the elections planned for November.

Arranging for "regime change" in the U.S. may prove as problematic as it has been in Iraq.

It's not easy to arrange for a live, on-the-record, phone-based, audio-recorded interview with Buster Soares, the chair of the recently-created Election Assistance Commission (EAC), and the person already being demonized as the instigator of the election cancellation he seems merely to have asked about. Nevertheless, this reporter, while reporting for the legacy Internet site Latest VotingNews, was able to secure not one but two exclusive interviews with Mr. Soares late last year and earlier this year.

Probably at least in part because of the scarcity of interviews with Mr. Soares, these conversations have been among the most popular of those available to listeners on the Latest VotingNews site.

The first of these interviews with Mr. Soares took place on December 10, 2003, before the Election Assistance Commission had been formally organized. You can hear that interview by clicking here.

The second of the interviews with the EAC chair, who is, on that account, the highest election official in the United States Government, took place on January 15, 2004, ten days after the EAC had been formally organized. You can hear it by clicking here.
