Is that just something they say when they things aren't going their way? I wonder if they are considering challenging THAT law, too.
And I really wonder why their own party thinks Democrats won't go vote on a Saturday?
You all down there are mean-spirited and plotting to deny the Democrats their rightful seat in the House!
They're Stealing the Election [LA]-Did voter fraud swing last year's [1996] closest Senate race?
Source: Reader's Digest; August 1997; Author: Trevor ArmbristerNote: Links show how the facts of the case this article describes correspond to patterns uncovered in San Francisco's stadium election investigation.
Earlier this year in an office building in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, witnesses were still talking about the 1996 election for the U.S. Senate in which Democrat Mary Landrieu defeated Republican Louis "Woody" Jenkins."This nice person drove up and asked whether I was registered," one woman said to the lawyers and investigators for Jenkins. "I told him I was but I didn't feel like going. He said, 'If I paid you, would you go?' I got up and dusted off my little pants and got in the car." The woman, who neither reads nor writes, said the man took her to three polling places, where she voted and signed an "X" each time.
On Election Day, said a 32-year-old mechanic, he drove a van, "picking up people to go down there to vote at least ten times or more." For his efforts, he received $700.
One woman, who said she voted three times, groused about how much she was paid. "I was supposed to get $75 and all they gave me was $25." She said they also gave her an "ol' stanky T-shirt" with Landrieu's picture on it.
These are among the numerous allegations that constitute the core of Jenkins's challenge to a very close election; Landrieu won by only 5788 votes out of more than 1.7 million cast. Even though Jenkins cried foul as soon as the election returns were in, his charges were not taken seriously at first. He was called "a sore loser" who need to "get on with his life."
Quietly, however, he and his volunteers began gathering evidence. In more than 8000 pages of affidavits and exhibits, they claimed to have identified 7454 phantom or illegal votes. ................"
And here in NC, he's on skaky ground. He must be under the impression that all this traveling is impressing us here. On a day when half the state is covered with ice and doesn't have power, I don't imagine his tea with Tony will make a big impression.
It appears to me that Clinton wants to run so bad, that he can barely contain himself. So he intends to run Edwards as a surrogate. I will be watching to see if there are similarities with his '92 campaign. I think he really wants McAuliffe job, but he fears it wouldn't appear seemly.
Did you see this?!
