The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.

There is no evidence in this case that the ballots were ever compromised. And if the ballots weren't compromised, the election wasn't compromised.

They compromised a little on the base, and we compromised on the upside. That's how deals get done.

If you get a message from someone you think you know, generally it's because that person's computer has been compromised.

You're going to have an elected politician as a county administrator and that elected person is then[going to] have to turn around and hire an administrator underneath them.

They have the option of making the decision based on whether a person is nominated by the senior elected office holder on a state level in the county or by recommendation from the political parties.
