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.
> Depends on what they call eligible voter
You can be pretty sure it means: "not you",
especially if you are mailing in a ballot from an APO.
In any case, this is yet another reason to vote early,
absentee if necessary.
Heh Heh.
1,000 demonRAT lawyers, all intended to intimidate election officials.
Soros and Theresa effectively have infinite cash. the amount of money Soros has made by running up oil prices will cover the legal fees alone.
What is our recourse if we find one of their attorneys making trouble at the polls? (
I live in Florida)
You mean the law matters to them? I don't think so.
Before this is over I expect to hear "Fix bayonets and take no prisoners!"
Asylum, meet lunatics.
Are they admitted to the Bar for that state? Do they have to be? Or is this just the team to handle the federal courts?
These? LOL!
Neither do I
The "lawyer lobby" is the biggest contributor to the Democratic Party. The legal profession has the Democratic Party in its back pocket. Pro-bono wouldn't surprise me at all.
Berger says the lawyers won't be actually practicing law , but because of their legal training, they're quick studies when it comes to monitoring whether local laws are being followed – and thus can effectively act as poll watchers. He says so far more than a thousand lawyers have agreed to spend four days in swing states, buying their own plane tickets and accommodations, and taking time off work. Ron Wasserman is one of them.
We are doing something similiar. I am a NY attorney and volunteering my time in Florida. There are many others too.
Ter-rai-sa gonna pay for it?
TY TY yes..isnt it a great image of this freaking RaT effort?
I think it is called deferred compensation. After the election the vice president would install the trial lawyers in the Justice Department to bring the preliminary cases against corporations the civil lawyers would then loot.
Sort of like the mob owning Chicago back in the day. They would own the whole system.
I wanted to be a poll watcher but got assigned as a clerk. Guess you have to be a lawyer :'(.
It will back-fire on them
There are some Republican lawyers -- the Federalist Society for instance.
