By the time it hit the Pacific states, the tsunami had flipped at least seven GOP senate seats, with more potentially to come—Mississippi, Nebraska and Alaska still hadn’t yet been called as of this writing. The tsunami toppled nearly one quarter of the GOP-held congressional seats.

Does uneven enforcement weaken a traveler's duty to follow the rule?
