Democrats plan to send 1,000 New York lawyers to precincts in key battleground states on Election Day, part of a nationwide legal SWAT team that will include 10,000 attorneys in all.
And they'll be ready to cry foul on behalf of John Kerry at the first sign of a hanging chad or botched butterfly ballot.
"We're going to be there to make sure that every eligible voter gets to vote and every vote cast gets counted," Henry Berger, New York state counsel for the Kerry campaign, told the New York Post on Sunday. Six hundred New York lawyers alone will be traveling to Florida to keep an eye out for "disenfranchisement." The remaining 400 Empire State legal eagles will fan out across Ohio and Pennsylvania, prominent election lawyer Jerry Goldfeder told the paper.
The plans for the Democrats' legal invasion were hammered out in New York this summer after party chief Terry McAuliffe rejected a bipartisan offer from top Republican Ed Gillespie to share Election Day monitoring.
Altogether, more than 10,000 Democrat lawyers will hit the beaches in at least 15 states on Oct. 30, when they'll begin a crash course on state election law.
I don't really know the plan yet, but I am prepared to serve. I think we each should do our part. Even if every Freeper gets five people to the polls, it would make a big difference.
Agree!
Big flap here in Jacksonville today about early voting -- seems that having one location to early vote is racial discrimination -- even though it is open 12 hrs a day! DemoncRATS are bussing people to the early voting polling place.
Jesse Jacksonnnnnnn and the race pimps are out playing the same ol' same, ol' and oh! so tired race card.
Gonna be a lotta FRaud, I am aFRaid!
Sure be glad when Jesse goes home and is never heard FRom again.
Can't believe I'm the first to get this one in:

Thanks for the ping!
Why do you want to kill me? I am volunteering my time as an attorney in Florida to help GWB get re-elected.
I do collection work for small businesses and tradesmen who get beat out of money by larger companies.
I kind of think I am one of the good guys.
LOL, you are right, I apologize. One oughtn't paint with too broad a brush! :)
Now let's get out there and win one for the Gipper!
John Kerry dispatches 1000 lawyers
An administration that doesn't frighten them with talk of tort reform.
BTTT
