Boies predicted there will be post-election litigation in Florida over problems with the touch-screen voting systems used in 15 Florida counties, including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. “It’s particularly unfortunate that some touch-screen machines have a verifiable audit and others don’t,” he said.

Thank you, David, for telling us ahead of the event what your charges are going to be so we can prepare and fix the problem.

What an idiot.

I hope David Boies has at least showered and chenged clothes since last time.

And Boies predicts that there will indeed be litigation.

This is fabulous news, since Boies got his butt kicked the last time. Let's do indeed have him back again.

We also need to get that Republican lawyer....Phil something or other...the one who beat Boies like a rented mule.

He reminds me of Prof. Irwin Corey. I do not think the last 3 years have been too good for Boies. IIRC he was involved in litigation himself on some type of sex discrimination charge and maybe something else. Does anyone have a like recollection?

[cripplecreek]

I thought David Boise had problems with his license in Fla.

Sure why not! I mean he did such a great job for old Al didn't he? And who could not think about the job he is doing for SCO. Chrysler thinks he's the best (snicker).

Barry Richards in the news ping

[alnick]

Richard said in an interview that he was informally approached by both Republicans and Democrats in recent months about representing their presidential campaigns. But, he said, he conferred with Greenberg chief executive officer Cesar Alvarez and they decided it would be unethical for any Greenberg lawyers to represent the Kerry campaign because the firm represented George W. Bush’s campaign in 2000 and has inside information about the Republicans.

Cute. Richard was approached by the Kerry camp. As if.

[TommyDale]

I recall something about that. Seems he was caught by the courts misrepresenting some evidence? Nahhh...they would never resort to that, would they?

[cyncooper]

They wanted to snap him up because they know what a great job he did and how it would look--that the lawyer who had worked with Bush before now was with Kerry. That alone would have been used to assign the high ground (good grief!) to Kerry by the dems/media.

Glad to see it didn't work. And though I remember he's a registered dem, I would think his consultation with the firm's CEO was pro-forma.

[Miss Marple]

Trying to 1. nab the BEST election lawyer in Florida and 2. Get any inside information on Bush.

Kerry is scum. I hope Florida is a blow-out for Bush.

[Miss Marple]

Look at this! Boies is back!!!

[TommyDale]

"He reminds me of Prof. Irwin Corey."

LOL! Good comparison! I remember Boies went into the Supreme Court wearing sneakers. What a slob... The press claimed he didn't have time to pack enough clothes, blah, blah. I guess he couldn't have sent one of his underlings to buy him something decent to wear.

Found this article

Boies has been in Tallahassee defending himself against charges brought by the Florida Bar, which accused Boies of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars helping his law firm's chief finance officer pursue a civil suit in Palm Beach County.

Circuit Judge George S. Reynolds dismissed the Bar complaint Tuesday after strongly suggesting the Bar had no case.

Boies spent more than $400,000 helping Amy Habie, the chief finance officer at one of his Florida offices, pursue litigation with a competing lawn maintenance business. The lawsuit led to a four-year post settlement battle, appeals to six other courts and numerous hearings and orders since it was filed in 1996.

Boies practices law in New York and has offices in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and West Palm Beach. He is not licensed to practice law in Florida but is frequently permitted by the courts to represent individual clients. If successful in the case against Boies, the Bar could have blocked Boies from appearing in Florida courts.
