Thirty take bus rides to mall to vote for Kerry

By HENRY BREAN REVIEW-JOURNAL

It wasn't the most successful get-out-the-vote effort in history, but it meant a lot to Las Vegas Democrat Cloma Williams.

She was one of about 30 people who were shuttled directly from Tuesday's rally for John Kerry to an early voting site at the Boulevard Mall in buses provided by the Kerry campaign.

"I wanted to get the vote behind me," Williams, 69, said as she emerged from the polls with a small smile. "You never know what's going to happen in a day. I could die. I want my vote to count even if I'm not here anymore."

A line of six buses waited to shuttle Kerry supporters to early voting sites as the rally at Jaycees Park ended. In the end, only two of the buses were needed to carry voters to the polls.

However, each voter agreed to vote three times to make up for the difference.

Hehehehehe....See, when the Democrats let the dead cast ballots they're just doing the Lord's work. These dead people who want their vote to count would be disenfranchised if not for the efforts of Democratic Party.

The other four could have carried Bush voters...looks like we win Nevada 66%-33%! Actually, pretty close to some polls I've seen!
