Hugh Hewitt's got a book coming out, IF IT'S NOT CLOSE, THEY CAN'T CHEAT. It sounds like we need that title to be a reality or we're going to be in trouble.

Kerry said his team would take "tough action" to prevent the kind of voter "intimidation and harassment" that kept about 1 million African American voters from the polls in 2000 and prevented about 57,000 black voters from casting votes in Palm Beach County, Fla.

Just wow. This sentence is missing a whole bunch of "allegedly"s. Great job as usual, AP.

I think it would be great if a week or so before election day John Ashcroft would make the following announcement.

We are taking these charges of voter intimidation seriously. Voting is one of our fundamental rights. We wish to ensure that every person legally eligible to vote has that chance.

We will be placing members of the FBI at polling stations with a history of problems. These people will be there to make sure that both the voters and the poll workers are not intimidated. We will set up an election hot line. Any poll worker with a question will be able to talk an election lawyer in a timely fahion. We will have counters outside problem polling places to count the number of voters who go in. We will also have on hand in every county that has a history of slow counting a vote counting expert. This way we will not have to wait so long for the final tally.

This will maintain the integrity of our electoral system by allowing all legitimate voters have their voice heard and stopping fraudulent voting practices.

I am wondering if it is legal to set up a legal swat team representing the Democrats. I have not heard of the Republicans or anyone else suggesting such a setup.

Needless to day, these attorneys would be rather prejudiced!

I AGREE 100%.

There has been way too much chatter from the left and "voter rights" groups about watching the election.

I think they are setting up to steal this in certain areas.
The Bush team better have people on the ground to watch these people.

PS.

"SWAT TEAM"?
Talk about intimidating people from voting.

Oh they are up to something and are using the excuse of the 2000 FLA election to get away with it.
They all know they lost FLA fair and square.

You can "thank" Stewart M. Powell and Mark Helm from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Washington Bureau for this "news" story with the great voter intimidation "facts". As far as I can tell, the story first appeared in the Seattle P.I. om July 13:

We need to form anti-SWAT teams who will hound the "SWAT" teams pushing for illegal voters. F--- them.

"Is Julian Bond writing his script?"

These scare tactics work with many black voters -- even though those voters know their condition has vastly improved over the past four decades, even though they know they have suffered no harm when Republicans have been in the White House. I have to conclude that they actually like feeling scared and voting out of fear.

Actually this is true. 57,000 blacks did not vote. However the real reason wasn't given. The reason 57,000 blacks did not vote was because the media already announced that Gore won Florida.

The problem for the RATS is that they could not get enough buses to go pick these people up after the media admitted its little mistake.

Add this to the hanging Chad, the butterfly ballot and Gore losing Tennessee.

"Why hasn't he announced that he'll stop the Republicans from burning the black churches and sending them back into slavery?"

Be patient my friend. Give them time.

"In Kerry's world everyone but Kerry seems to be a crook. And out to "steal" things. Like votes? But it's Kerry who has not been to work in over a year but still takes the money. Who is dishonest? Who is the thief?"

Can Bush quote you from the debate podium?
