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.

I don't know where to begin. I have no further details other than what this says. I'm headed down to the Federal Courthouse to presumably join Thune supporters.

All Thune's people have to do is get the ruling from the US Appeals court in Ohio - Lil' Tommy is screwed.

"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."

Sounds as if there is a definite need for recusal here!

Dasshole must carry his little things around in a wheelbarrow.

If Dasche can get the Republican poll watchers removed from Indian polling stations, he can make as many ballots as he needs to win the election.

Why is Daschle seeking to ban poll watcher and just as important, why ban the legitimate absentee ballot counting? This does not make sense to me?

I think the 8th Circuit judges are going to pull an all-nighter.

Sorry, I'm so p*ssed I'm shaking, and didn't even think to do a search beyond e-mail. Just wanted to get the word out and go. I'm heading down to the courthouse now.

It is right, nor is it ethical. This judge should recuse himself or be removed on ethics charges.
