Kerry promises vigilance at polls |
|
John Kerry said Monday he is ready to go to court -- even before the November election -- to ensure that he does not lose Florida's 27 electoral votes because of ballot problems.
And he directly accused Republicans of stealing the 2000 election for George W. Bush in a contest that was finally settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, giving the president a 537-vote victory.
"What can you do to prevent them from stealing the election again?" Kerry asked a crowd of hundreds at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Hollywood, his first stop in a three-city Florida campaign swing Monday.
"We're going to pre-check it, we're going to have the legal team in place," said Kerry, who expected to easily win today's Florida presidential primary. "We're going to take injunctions where necessary ahead of time. We'll pre-challenge if necessary."

2. Awesome!!! It is a great subject for Kerry to bring up early! |
|
It is a win/win situation for us; if the Dems demand paper ballots or a paper trail, then people know we are dedicated to fair voting, if the repubs fuss they look like the cheating assholes they really are.
This is great! Bravo Mr. Kerry!
