OK, let's put an end to this


One of the sticking points holding up a possible do-over election in Michigan is a rule that would ban anyone who voted in the Republican presidential primary from voting again.



That ban would apply even to Democrats or independents who asked for a GOP ballot because Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the only major candidate left on the Jan. 15 Democratic ballot.



To cast a ballot, voters would have to sign a statement that they hadn't voted in the GOP primary.



The effect of blocking those voters could be greatest on Sen. Barack Obama, since his supporters were more likely than Clinton's to have crossed over to vote in the GOP primary.

Why don't we just do the whole thing over again - how soon can Iowa be ready?
