Here is a newspaper story about the December 20 hearing in U.S. District Court, in the federal government’s lawsuit against New York state for not replacing its lever voting machines. The judge wants the state to tell him by January 4 how it will comply with the Help America Vote Act, which outlawed lever voting machines.
The Judge can send a letter to Prez Bush and things can really happen. LOTS of low grade MORONS in many State regimes.

10 U.S.Code Sec. 332 [derived from a 1861 law at the start of the Civil War]
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.
