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 would presume the "shove it" person is paying for all these attorneys ..?? Since the dems are whining for money, I don't know where they would get the loot for 1000 attorneys.
But I might want to punch him (or) her, and I can't afford to get arrested! :)
Hopefully to the bottom of the sea....
the amount of money Soros has made by running up oil prices will cover the legal fees alone.
Are you saying that Soros caused the rise in oil prices?
Welcome to John Kerry's America.
Bring them on, we've got them covered in Florida.
its a good guess, there is probably $10 of speculation in the price now.
That's right. Everybody take election day as a holiday, and poll watch.
Want to know the real reasons people can't afford health care, or insurance for their home auto or health and why businesses move over seas.
Here's ten thousand of them here.
What are they all John Edwards clones?
There's a certain poetic justice to see the Dems waste tons of their money on these sharks, who will be vilified outside of their dens.
It doesn't matter to them if a voter is eligible or not, when they even let dead people and illegals vote. The more the better

Mrs. Kerry is paying for them, right?
They're probably working for promises fulfilled post-election.
A little bit of information will greatly improve your guessing ability. Soros' money is less than peanuts compared to the oil barons. They could swat him down like a fly.
the entire hedge fund apparatus can leverage tremendous amounts of speculative swings - they have even taken down the currencies of nations.
Anyone who would deliberately put Americans through the kind of scene we went through in 2000 does not love this country.
Al Gore loved himself more than he loved America. So does Kerry.
