INTERVENTION TO HEAD OFF ELECTION LOSS
DASCHLE LAWYERS GO TO FEDERAL COURT AT 8:00 PM TONIGHT TO STEAL VOTES, ELIMINATE REPUBLICAN POLL WATCHERS
SIOUX FALLS – Anticipating a loss to Republican challenger John Thune tomorrow ending his 26-year congressional career, Senator Tom Daschle will seek federal judicial intervention in the election process tonight, Monday, November 1 during an emergency hearing in federal court in Sioux Falls at 8:00 PM.
The hearing will be before Federal Judge Larry Piersol who was appointed by Daschle to federal court and served as Daschle’s personal legal counsel in 1978.
“This is nothing short of an attempt to steal an election Tom Daschle knows he is about to lose tomorrow,” said Thune for Senate campaign manager Dick Wadhams. “Daschle’s goon lawyers will seek to get Republican poll watchers removed from reservations and for voters to lose their right to vote.”
Lawyers representing Tom Daschle successfully called for the hearing tonight in front of Daschle-appointed Judge Piersol.
The Pennington County Auditor was informed earlier today that Daschle lawyers will seek to ban the counting of legitimate absentee ballot requests in Pennington County tomorrow, Election Day, morning.
The little troll needs a booster chair? Awwwwwwwwwwww.
That is really cute!
That's what it sounds like all right.
Let the games begin.
Headline news on KELO, Sioux Falls.
"Republicans acuse Daschle of trying to steal the election tomorrow."
Unfolding in federal court.
The GOP has had time to counter with a good defense, time for a cornerback blitz.
watching news....lots of Thune supporters with signs \
"Shame on Tom" and "Don't steal"
OMG! If they can't win, take them to court, or commit fraud... whatever it takes.
....who was appointed by Daschle to federal court....
THANKS.

ROFL. Welcome to FR.
KELO:
Unusual last minute twist. Republicans are crying foul.
Pics of Thune supporters outsie the courhouse "shame on Tom ' "Don't steal the election."
Repubs taking license plate numbers. Daschle wants to get rid of "intimidation" factor.
My note: this doesn't look good on television for Daschle. Midwesterners don't like this crap. We's down home folk, and Tom ain't looking that way.
Dash-hole is such a weenie.
All Sioux Falls stations are carrying this story. This is good news. They can't sweep the story under the rug like they usually do when a story may hurt little Tommy Two Tongues!

PRESIDENT NAMES CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT COURT JUDGES
President Clinton yesterday nominated:
Lawrence Piersol, District of South Dakota -- Piersol, 53, is a
partner at Davenport, Evans, Hurwitz & Smith, a prominent Sioux
Falls law firm where he specializes in civil litigation.
Piersol, a veteran of the U.S. Army Judge Advocate Corps, is a
graduate of the University of South Dakota Law School.
I don't know. He wasn't governor, but if the Argus even says it: "A hearing before Piersol, who Daschle chose for the federal bench, is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight" he's got to have appointed him. He helped Daschle win in 78 after a challenge to that initial election. Daschle won by 14 points in that first one.
"Any info on the 8th Circuit? How many Republican appointees? How many Democrats?"
