Election Day Will Be The Beginning Of The Fight, Not The End

The LA Times agrees with the NYT and what I've been saying for weeks, Cassandra that I am:

This election will not be decided on election day. (I'm assuming my quiet dream of a Kerry landslide comes to naught and things really are as close as they seem.)

"Mounting concerns about voter registration snafus, election machine defects and other kinds of problems that might contaminate the presidential election is spurring dozens of U.S. organizations to plan extraordinary efforts to scrutinize the polls on Nov. 2," writes the LA Times.

"More than 25,000 poll watchers, ranging from lawyers to computer experts, are expected outside and inside precincts to report problems and in some cases to intervene if they believe poll workers are violating voter rights or making technical mistakes."

Go to voteprotect.org to check out hundreds of voting irregularities this one group is tracking.

And face it, when lawyers are involved, lawsuits will be filed and the process will become protracted and ugly. But isn't that better than letting activist judges choose your President for you?
