Election controversies

edit

"He has been active in contested elections especially the current one in Florida."

This seems to have been added in January 2007 - to which contested Florida election is this referring? Hutchie6 (talk) 12:10, 30 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

If memory serves, there was a close election with some irregularities where a recount was requested but not performed before the start of the 110th congress, so the apparent winner was sworn in. Holt brought the issue to the floor immediately after the congress started. No clue if anything came of it, but I doubt it. Hazydan (talk) 20:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
The election referenced is Florida's 13th congressional district race in 2006 between Christine Jennings and Vern Buchanan. A great deal of research and information did come of this controversy, much of which is covered in other sections in WP. --Electiontechnology (talk) 21:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Altered wording in article to reflect this. Hutchie6 (talk) 10:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Bumper Stickers

edit

Did he produce the 'My congressman IS a rocket scientist' bumper stickers, or did his supporters? Hutchie6 (talk) 11:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Quaker

edit

The lead section says "He is currently the only Quaker in Congress". In whar sense is he a Quaker? No further mention in the article". Did his membership pre-date his job at Swarthmore? Vernon White . . . Talk 15:54, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Improvements

edit

The current page says: "... Holt increased limits on governmental power with respect to counterterrorism efforts." which is ambiguos. Did he limit the goverment's powers, or the opposite? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.182.96.92 (talk) 19:56, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Rush D. Holt, Jr.Rush Holt – Holt's resignation announcement prompted a Google search, which showed near unanimous usage of "Rush Holt" rather than Rush D. Holt, Jr.. The page is currently a redirect to Rush D. Holt, Jr.. This page ought to be moved to reflect that fact. JamKaftan (talk) 18:52, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I oppose. There are two Rush Holts - the congressman and his dad, who was a U.S. Senator and just as notable as the son. The page was a disambiguation, and I restored it in that state after finding it nominated for wp:g6 -- Y not? 11:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
