The Legislative Councils Decided Which Delegates Are Legitimate

The most useful technical violation was to trot out the law that had been imposed by lazarre carna that said candidates and electors had to swear a hatred of monarchy. The legislative councils then announced on may second that they had uncovered a conspiracy between royalists and left wing anarchists to undermine the republic. This is just as robespierre had once denounced habert asan agent of the foreign plot who was trying to discredit the revolution. So the accusation now is that all these left winged candidates wore the white cockade of royalism under the red cap of liberty. With this alleged threat looming, the legislative councils decided it would be prudent to quickly process all those utterly contrived electoral disputes.
