Suppose there were al-qaida attacks at polling places tomorrow, and people stayed home out of fear. The Bush administration had tried to plan* for delaying the vote in this case, but the Democrats blocked it. When the polls close at the end of the day tomorrow, the early voters will have determined the results. 10,000 Democrat lawyers would be standing at the polling place doors to prevent them being open after the official closing time*. The federal government would have no way of stopping it even if only 20% of registered voters had voted*. Kerry would win.

US 'may delay vote if attacked'
Mr Soaries noted that while New York's board of elections suspended primary elections on 11 September 2001, "the federal government has no agency that has the statutory authority to cancel and reschedule a federal election."

Kerry sends 10,000 lawyers to fight for battleground states The Kerry campaign is preparing to deploy at least 10,000 lawyers across election battleground states on 2 November to defend their candidate's right to take the White House in the event that the outcome of any count is called into question.

Early voting begins in Florida
"It's very important," McAuliffe said. "We are encouraging them to vote early just to get it done."
A terror attack is most likey in the cities where the concentrations of democrats reside.
I do this.
Oh Heavenly Father, thank you for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon us all. Only through Your Word and Your Guidance do we receive the bounties of Your Love.
Please guide my hand and the hands of all your humble servants in selecting the earthly leader of our nation in tomorrow's election.
Please help us to understand Your Will through the outcome, and please bless this nation and the world in these trying times with Your Love and Mercy.
Through our humble prayers we seek Your Will and do Your Work here on earth.
Amen
It would have to be a direct hit on me to keep me away
The day's still young.
Both parties WORK in said cities.
Amen
Amen.
The only thing that will keep me away from MY polling place tomorrow is if the Islamofascists roll a handgrenade under the door while I am in there.
What if a giant comet hits America tomorrow? What if the sky IS falling?
The President stays in office.
Only if Al-qaida is responsible. Don't be surprised if they don't attack Sioux Falls this time around.
Then Bush wins because Republicans aren't pussies. They'll still go to the polls.
"the federal government has no agency that has the statutory authority to cancel and reschedule a federal election."
In other words, the results would stand no matter how flawed the election. If the Dems won in early voting, the Bush would be out.
After everything I have seen this election cycle, I would low crawl across broken glass naked to vote for GWB.
Ohio isn't on the list
Amen
