Bangs head on keyboard, screams, sighs deeply
WASHINGTON — As Americans prepare to vote Tuesday in dozens of tight elections, the two major political parties and interest groups across the ideological spectrum already have lawyered up for potential problems at the polls or with election results.
What the hell is wrong with purple fingers anyway!
Wah?
“The parties are well lawyered up,” said Richard Hasen, a University of California, Irvine, law and political science professor and the author of “The Voting Wars: From 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown.” “It’s a tactic and a tool. It’s like an arms race.”
Sigh, be prepared.
“Since 2000, when the parties felt, especially Democrats, they were caught flatfooted, they send lawyers to places where they expect close races,” Hasen said. “Campaigns now have boiler rooms where they sit and watch the polls. The most important thing is to have a (legal) infrastructure in place.”
Voter fraud has been proven to be of approaching absolute zero in terms of import.
It comes down to counting.
Well I suppose lawyers are good at accounting, looking at past bills I have had, ye gawds they know how to add big sums together. What beats me is where the hourly rate comes from, dear lord above.
Now I see where all the money goes in these elections.
So will we know the results by January 2015?
I suggest that their hours of work are carefully monitored.
By still more lawyers.
We elect lawyers and have lawyers monitor the campaign, perhaps only lawyers should vote.
See, problem solved, you gotta think outta tha box
If you cannot tell that this diary is snark then:
You are probably a lawyer
