Back on duty. Did you miss me Amos?

Fred Miller:

Gore / Leiberman filed false lawsuits in an attempt to steal the 2000 election.

Here is one example, a long story about fake votes in St Louis: http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/pubs/reformmandate/reportpage4.asp
It is from the Office of the Secretary of State, Missouri - Matt Blunt. Note the part where the lawsuit for the plaintifs Gore-Lieberman, was filed because Robert D. Odom, a deadman, was not allowed to vote. After it was discovered he was dead the plaintifs said they made a minor mistake. They meant to say Robert M. Odomwas not allowed to vote. It was later revealed that had already voted and did not have any trouble voting.

It is Kerry's strategy to claim an early victory and if he looses he will claim Republican cheated. Then he will battle it out in the courts like Gore did.

If you read the leaked page the Kerry Edwards Colorado Election Day Manual, November 2004 found at http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc.jpg you will see their strategy of creating accusations of voter fraud when none exist.

"If no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet, launch a pre-emptive strike (particularly suited to states in which there techniques have been tried in the past).
• Issue a press release
    i. Reviewing Republican Tactic used in the past in your area or state
    ii. Quoting party/minority/civil rights leadership as denouncing tactics that discourage people from voting
• Prime Minority leadership to discuss the issue in the media; provide talking points
Place stories in which minority leadership expresses concern about the threat of intimidation tactics
• Warn local newspapers not to accept advertising that is not properly disclaimed or that contains false warnings about voting requirements and/or about what will happen at the polls"

"One top DNC official confirmed the manual's authenticity, but claimed the notion of crying wolf on any voter intimidation is "absurd."
"We all know the Republicans are going to try to steal the election by scaring people and confusing people," the top DNC source explained.
