On Thursday afternoon, when members of Congress will meet to certify the results of the 2004 presidential election, Sen. John F. Kerry will not be among those taking part in a formal protest of Ohio electors.

"Despite widespread reports of irregularities, questionable practices by some election officials and instances of lawful voters being denied the right to vote, our legal teams on the ground have found no evidence that would change the outcome of the election," Kerry said in a Jan. 5 email message to supporters.

But there were electoral problems, Kerry says. He specifically mentioned people who say their votes weren't counted; people who say they were "denied" at the polls; and people who were "forced to voted on old, unaccountable and non-transparent voting machines from companies controlled by partisan activists."

Kerry reiterated his commitment to addressing problems that cropped up in Ohio. "We must act today to make sure they never happen again," Kerry said, and he urged his supporters to join him in demanding that Congress commit itself this year to reforming the electoral system.

There are different standards in different states for casting and counting votes, Kerry said. "We need a national federal standard to solve the problems that occurred in the 2004 election. I will propose legislation to help achieve this," he said.

He accused Republicans of ignored the "wake-up call" posed by Florida in 2000. "Will they now ignore what happened in 2004?" he asked.

"We need a national federal standard to solve the problems that occurred in the 2004 election. I will propose legislation to help achieve this,"

Dubious, given that the Constitution gives the states control over election procedures.

I guess frenchie feels he's embarrassed himself enough for the time being. Or maybe he has a "secret plan" to contest the election that he hasn't told the other rats about just yet.

"Kerry Skipping Prez Vote Certification"

No surprise there.
He missed over 70% of votes in the Senate even in 1993 when the WTC was first attacked under Klinton.

The latest weaselly act from a man with even less class than his totally classless wife.

"forced to voted on old, unaccountable and non-transparent voting machines from companies controlled by partisan activists."

Just when you think he may show some class. So it is evil Diabold.

He accused Republicans of ignored the "wake-up call" posed by Florida in 2000

Remember during the election when Kerry was accused of not doing anything in 20 years? Does he not understand that HE could have done something? I mean if he was that concerned about the wake-up call.

"'Will they now ignore what happened in 2004?' he asked."

That is a question better directed toward the Dems.

I'm sorry to use such language - and this post might end up deleted - but we need to call a spade a spade:  John Kerry is truly a f***ing pu**y.
