    Good grief.

    You libs just can't believe the fact that the people of the Republic would ACTUALLY vote for a Republican candidate?

    I heard Kerry's lawyers are already getting the paperwork necessary to file for recalls.

    Good grief.

        You stop the partisanship first.

        The very nature of this thread has the smell of the DNC to it.

        Are you as worried about corruption on the left-side of this coming election, FORD?

          What could we "corrupt" when the BCE controls everything?

          The DNC has nothing to do with this thread. They don't tell me what to do, and truthfully, I have very little use for the current "leadership" of the organization. Hopefully that will change for the better under the Kerry administration. There's a lot of talk about Howard Dean being named DNC chairman. That would be a HUGE step in the correct direction, as far as I'm concerned.

          My focus here is on those who are interfering with the constitutional right to vote. In the last election, the obvious offenders in that regard was the BCE wing of the Republican party. That is a matter of record. If Democrats did it, it would be just as wrong, but I don't realistically see anybody who wanted to vote for Junior being turned away.

            Howard Dean? I'd love to see that, and I'm serious. It'd definately push the center of the party farther left.

                Why do you guys always confuse Howard Dean with Dennis Kucinich. Kooch was the "leftist" - and a Hell of a great guy with some awesome ideas. But unfortunately, this country's not ready for them.

                Howard Dean would have been considered a conservative 20 years ago. These days he passes for common sense centrist. The FAUXian media tried to tag him as "left" just because he opposed a senseless war based on lies, and signed a common sense civl unions bill as Governor of Vermont - after his state's highest court left him no option but to act somehow (the alternative would have been calling it "marriage").

                These things don't make anyone a hardcore liberal except in the world of Busheep fiction.

                      No, it's a FORD Country honest truth about how both parties, and as a result, the entire country, have veered so far to the right that we are about to leave the road of democracy entirely, and wreck into the ditch of global fascism

                              I told you of actual known voter fraud that I witnessed last time and of accounts in the local paper of charges of DEMOCRATIC violaters, but as usual, you ignored them so that you could pretend it doesn't happen both ways.

                                Democrats Challenge Fla. Voting Policy
                                The Associated Press

                                Friday 08 October 2004

                                Tallahassee, Fla. - The state Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit accusing Florida's secretary of state of violating federal law when she told elections supervisors to reject incomplete voter-registration forms.

                                The party asked a judge to order Glenda Hood to reverse her instructions to the state's 67 counties.

                                Hood's office told counties they should disqualify voters who failed to check a box confirming they are U.S. citizens, even if they signed an oath on the same form swearing they are. She and other state officials maintain that state and federal laws require the box to be checked.

                                "The Secretary of State's Office says they want to err on the side of the voter, yet they want to disenfranchise people," party Chairman Scott Maddox said.

                                The lawsuit was filed Thursday, the same day the NAACP sued a county elections supervisor in federal court, alleging the county disenfranchises blacks by having only one early voting site in an area where fewer minorities live

                                The NAACP wants Volusia County elections chief Deanie Lowe to open another such site by Oct. 18 in the eastern part of the county, where more blacks live. The only site now is in DeLand, the county seat.

                                "We will not allow them to disenfranchise," said Beverlye Neal, executive director of the Florida National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

                                State law requires county elections officials to offer early voting starting 15 days before an election. Votes can be cast at elections offices, but if other sites are opened, they must be spread out evenly if possible.

                                Lowe said that meant the county also would have to open two other sites, something she called "humanly impossible," given the preparations needed for the Nov. 2 vote.

                                It was unclear Friday when a judge would hear the case.

                                In the challenge to the voter-registration policy, some counties have said they had no plans to follow Hood's policy as they process the flood of forms coming in ahead of Monday's registration deadline.

                                The Democrats' lawsuit marks the fourth time since August that the party has taken Hood and her office to court. The Democrats successfully challenged plans by the state to reopen qualifying for a state Senate seat in southwestern Florida but were thwarted in their effort to keep Ralph Nader off the presidential ballot.

                                The Democrats were expected to argue in federal court Friday against the state law that requires provisional ballots to be cast in a voter's precinct.
