Election Challenge likely on Jan 6th
If you haven't been following John Kerry closely, get ready to hear of surprising developments. The vote-defrauded, potential president-in-waiting has just indicated through his lawyer that the validity of George Bush's reelection is no longer a given.
On 23 December, 2004 Kerry's lawyer confirmed to MSNBC's 'Countdown' that John Kerry will be seeking (likely on Monday 27 Dec.) to expedite court proceedings in an ongoing recount suit by the Green and Libertarian parties. That might sound like just another "count every vote" exercise by the Kerry campaign, were it not for two important details.
Kerry's court filing will conjoin him to existing allegations that Triad Systems, a Republican-linked supplier of voting machines to around half of Ohio counties --"orchestrated" a covert campaign to thwart a legitimate recount in Ohio. If the allegation proves well founded, it could invalidate the Ohio recount and eventually even hand the presidency to John Kerry.

They met on Dec. 13th. Actually, even if this "high-tech" vote fraud were true (snort), since the electors have already met, it's totally in Congress' hands now. They could still vote Bush in if they wanted to.
I'd think so too, but then I'd never have believed the nominee of a major party would allow himself to be photographed like this either:
The fact that Democrats believe it already happens means that there would be little opposition to reforms that, in the end, would actually give Republicans more votes.
It's been estimated that Democrats get about 40,000 votes in NYC just from fraud.
So, now's our chance. Start the hearings, investigations, etc. Democrats will only be more humiliated in the end.
He will look like a stark rving madman, and -- especially after Gore's performance in 2000 -- will turn off middle America to Democrats for the remainder of my natural life.
:o)
Republicans should be gung-ho about preventing election fraud and passing laws for reforming the system.

This deserves repeating.
In a large font, so everyone sees it.
Let's wait for the Democrats to move, then we make ours.
Yeah, djf, they sure have. But, Article II, Section 1 says that the electoral votes have to be opened by the President of the Senate who will then add up the votes with the guy/gal having the most votes becoming President.
I do not believe that process has occurred yet, though I may be wrong.
If not, and if a court could nullify a state's electors, then perhaps JFK-lite could win.
Now I am not sure a court could do such a thing.
Should one do so, there would be a Constitutional crisis that this country has not seen and certainly does not need.
I think that most of we, the people, vote, and then accept the results, even if at times some of them smell a bit (and I am not saying this election reeks at all).
We want to move on, make a living and raise our kids knowing that the country will survive.
To make every election a legal circus is unacceptable and could destroy the fabric of our country.
I doubt even JFK-lite would allow this to happen. If he did so, and succeeded, he would have no authority to rule; his presidency would be a sham.
I doubt that even he would want to go down in history as a guy who became president but helped destroy the county.
It's an indication of what they are planning.
We need a graphic of Kerry in a Deconcession Chamber. However there is LESS to this than appears. This is STRICTLY a move by Kerry to placate the likes of full mooner lefties like Moonbat Pitt that he has actually done something to challenge the 2004 election results.....without really doing anything. This action is all about Kerry maintaining his viability with the left for his 2008 run. Nothing more than that.
Ask Gore how well that went for him.
:o)
PJ, this Christmas season the left never stops giving me big huge wrapped gifts with bows on them.
:o)
This is my early Christmas morning hearty laugh!
bump!
Once the electoral college has met, a court no longer has any jurisdiction. Only Congress does from that point. The only recourse Kerry would have would be to get some judge/court to order the legislature to send up a 2nd set of electors. Nobody can force Congress as to which slate they accept. Kerry simply does not have the votes in the House of Representatives. He loses.
Thank god the grown-ups (i.e., the republicans) control Congress. Can anyone imagine the kind of mischief that might result if the democrats were? If they did, I really think they'd be crazed enough to send Bush packing, even tho' he won the popular vote, the electoral vote, and they're just pretending their trumped-up conspiracies are a reality.
Triad is a supplier of punchcard voting systems. They're listed at the below site. It would be worthwhile to know how many other states used the same system. Also, can we assume that if, as the article suggests, that Triad is right-leaning company, then the voting system suppliers in other states that went to Kerry are left-leaning?

Hells bells, I'm pretty sure there'd be a shooting civil war.
Oh yeah? Well this is your early Christmas morning hearty hug.
