Vet Votes Voided by Greedy Gore Gang (Remember This?)

To become President, Al Gore was willing to disenfranchise men and women risking their lives for us.

COUNT OFF

"It's really quite simple," Al said.

"The one who's behind should have led,

So we'll void votes for George

And then we will forge

Enough ballots to put me ahead."

The truth could hardly be more different. Duval County is "home to more military families than any other county in Florida," observes (Bill) Sammon. "So it was no surprise," he says, "that Duval had more absentee ballots from overseas than any other county -- 618 of 3,500 cast statewide. Neither was it a surprise that five Gore lawyers showed up at the elections office . . . to disqualify as many of those ballots as possible."

Sammon reports that the supervisor of elections had "checked signatures on ballot envelopes against signature cards on file. He determined that only two absentee ballots could not be included because the signatures did not match. But now the Democrats insisted that they be allowed to compare all signatures, one by one," Sammon relates. "For seven tedious hours, they bitterly argued that signatures on more than 100 envelopes did not precisely match the signature cards -- although some envelopes had been signed by sailors on rolling seas in hostile situations. Even more infuriating were attempts by Democrats to disqualify military ballots that had no overseas postmark. The ostensible logic," he explains, "was that some voters might have marked their ballots a day or two after the election and then mailed them in."

Sammon charges that "the Gore lawyers took this argument to absurd lengths by actually disqualifying ballots received before November 7th. The Gore lawyers," he notes, "protested ballots on which the return address of the attesting witness was incomplete. They railed against ballots on which foreign postmarks were smudged or partially illegible. At 4:11 a.m. -- more than 19 hours after it began -- the nightmarish battle over Duval's military ballots came to an end," Sammon recalls. "Duval was the last of Florida's 67 counties to complete the arduous task. When the canvassing board announced that the ballots of 149 soldiers, sailors, and airmen had been disqualified, a pair of jubilant Gore lawyers exchanged high-fives."

I just thought I'd remind everyone of the Democrats "support for our troops" during the Florida recount.

Just type "gore florida military ballots" in your Google Search, and Voila, deja vu all over again.

Neither elected nor selected

by Slyfox

Algore denied the mailed-in selection,

Therefore, he roundly lost the election.

The end.

[Vigilanteman]

A trivia question-- who was the Democrat lawyer and mayor who wrote the instruction memo on how to disqualify the military vote?
