[Robert A Cook PE]

The dnc has been claiming they will have "thousands" (of democratic) lawyers at the polls to intimidate challengers ... er, promote legal voting.

Question:

If you ask a democratic lawyer a question, or - in front of him - legally challenge a voter who is committing fraud who the lawyer then defends or tries to harrass you (the person finding the fraud) .... Is HE liable for misleading you (a felony?) or or giving you the wrong information about voter fraud?

In other words, if a democratic lawyer lies or distorts HIS LEGAL ADVICE TO YOU while at a polling place, isn't that lawyer guilty of professional malpractice and thus liable for his actions to the bar/legal system?

I don't know, Robert. Good question. My local SOE (Lee County) said that trained, scheduled poll workers would never be bumped for any DNC lawyer, but Broward County is outdoing its 2000 performance already. I told my SOE, and I mean it, that the presence of a DNC lawyer is grounds for a claim of voter intimidation from any GOP voter after election 2000. We can point to Boise, Herron, etc.* My advice would be to document "any and all concerns" and let the law sort it out later.
