This never happened in 2000. I get a bad feeling that the 2004 election will end up in court.

WTFII...

The #1 problem in NM is that no ID is required to vote!

Republicans want 100% voter ID; Democrats want 0% ID.

[BJungNan]

Photo ID should be required for every vote cast - for starters.

But Graves was quick to point out that “it is probably not the Democratic Party itself that is perpetuating the problem.” Instead, he blamed liberal 527 groups and their aggressive voter-registration efforts, which he said have resulted in 100,000 new voters.

Well, it is a proven winning strategy for the Left. Encourage fraud from the top of the Dem party on down, but take no part in the fraud. Let local level "activists" do it for you.

Did Gore know about Irv Slosberg? Or Daschle about Becky Red Earth? No, almost certainly not.

But they certainly benefit from it...

Well, this state...NM...went to Gore in 2000 AFTER a box of "missing" ballots shgowed up with just enough votes for Gore to win the state.
Strangely, in the box was not one single vote for Bush or any other candidate.
But there was no fraud. (cough)

Farrauto said, adding that if there were evidence of voter fraud, Republicans would seek legal action and not just air their grievances in public.

Uhmm. wasn't that what Mr. Graves just said?

I'd be OK with the voter registration push if it didn't have the absentee ballot in the same bundle. We in Southern Ohio have seen more ACT workers than registered voters. I'd ask who pays their bills except I know it's Soros.

I don't care what they do in state or local elections, but in order to vote in a federal election, I think ID must be required.

Kerry is getting some rather unusual, but maybe not unexpected, help.

HAVANA, Oct. 19, 2004 -- A multitude of unlikely volunteers is working the phones for Sen. John Kerry in the swing state of Florida. His campaign is unaware of the support, as the volunteers do not live in the United States, but in Communist-run Cuba.

The Dems are absolutely going to try to steal this election. Voter fraud, lawsuits, whatever it takes. So get ready this is going to be real ugly.

[noodler]

We come to a point where enforcing the law by integrity of elections is something debatable.It would not be this way if not for demrat politics.The lawyers on their side did a back-door search to see nothing was in place to challenge the illegal votes.They've thrown their support behind something directly against their first order and this will affect them in life as compromised tools.The silver lining to this is the portion of those who see what is going on and resist the brainwash.There will be enough work sorting this out legally and the fines on voter fraud will more than pay.If i were a lawyer I would want a decent night's sleep.Protecting the constitution and trying to eliminate corruption are noble goals.

Unless we conservatives go beyond hand wringing and self serving verbiage and face up to the fact that the Democrat/Communist party will do what ever they have to do, to obtain total control of our beloved country. As J. Edgar Hoover's book stated "They are masters of Deceit". If we wish to survive, we need to exert a greater effort no matter what it takes to oppose them, or we can kiss our Free country good bye. Voter fraud has been a major factor for many years and yet most Conservatives give it little if any attention. This year may be our last chance to expose it before it's too late.

Bush was ahead by a few hundred votes in 2000 - and suddenly, at the last minute, a box of ballets was 'found" that put Gore over by a few...fraud in New Mex is well known

They have only about 1/3rd (!) of their counties reported, officially, so far! with Bush about 8,000 ahead...and will take until the 23rd to declare.

This is ludicrous. Each county has had more than enough time to count their votes. I suspicion they are just having a hard time manufacturing enough to overcome the 8,000 lead.

I have a bad feeling that this is all closely orchestrated with Ohio - and Ohio;s hair pulling to see how they can believably 'find' enough votes to overcome "W"s big lead there. I think they had their extra votes all ready to go, but never anticipated that Pres. Bush would have such a significant lead. It's thrown them for a loop.

Does anyone know how many military votes might be coming in? Or if it's past deadline for them in Ohio>
