TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Republican Party plans to have a network of lawyers ready to watch voting on Election Day for potential legal problems.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the GOP plans to have lawyers on standby, as they watch for what state GOP party director Clayton Barber calls "dubious actions" by Democrats. The newspaper says the plans were detailed in an email from Barber.

1. This will be called shooting themselves in the foot.

2. Kanass

They also have them stationed at the state lines, to keep people from escaping.

3. We have done that before. I wonder if we will again?

5. I remember Democratic attorneys at polling places in Florida in 2004

Mostly they ensured that the disenfranchised could at least cast provisional ballots.

7. I was one of those attorneys

4. Women, single ones - too many can not vote

and non whites should never vote unless its for the GOP. GOPers will do this across board and when Dems win, they are gonna claim voter fraud, fraud, illegals voting and yes too many blacks people - criminals.

If they are so sure about their manufactured polls through their corporation are people media, than whats the worry since all the gawd damn articles spew out is "wave" for them because this is what America wants bullshit.

6. I am going to distribute "I touched an 'ebola nurse' and lived!" signs to all willing to stand beside

these lawyers, in all the Republican dominated districts I can find.

Call 1-800-FEARBOLA for you free sign, postage paid by Neil Degrasse.

12. Love it! Displayed at red polling places, as well?

[Fred Sanders]

13. Seriously, a guy holding a poster at or near a polling booth would scare off about 90% of

Republicans, and judging only by the science deniers on this liberal site, only about 30% of Democratic voters.

"I may have EBOLA!" would do the trick also...turn the fear back on them.

17. DUzy!

8. Texas is preparing also

Texas Democratic Party Hotline 1-844-TXVOTES (1-844-898-6837)

The Texas Democratic Party will have central boiler rooms in Fort Worth and Austin and regiional boiler rooms in Houston, Fort Bend, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, McAllen and San Antonio

9. The Tort tour of it all

On one hand you have duplicity, the other one, you don't need.

[SoapBox]

It's so tiresome.

[ctaylors6]

[blackspade]

20. This reeks of Rehnquist voter intimidation tactics...

... WASHINGTON — Four witnesses Friday disputed Supreme Court Justice William H. Rehnquist's sworn testimony that he had not harassed or intimidated minority voters in the early 1960s, prompting Democratic senators to consider attempting to recall the nominee for chief justice to testify further.

The conservatives who now rule the Republican Party trace their political and ideological roots back 40 years to the Goldwater campaign, which they recall as a doomed but noble and prophetic crusade. As the radical right’s chosen heir seeks his second presidential term, events also remind us of their legacy’s most ugly aspect: the Republican Party’s continuing determination to intimidate and disenfranchise voters, especially African-Americans and Latinos.

The living symbol of that tradition is William Rehnquist, whose serious illness underlines the judicial stakes of this election. The chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court once made his mark as a young Republican lawyer in Arizona by challenging black and Hispanic voters. Today that urge to suppress democratic participation is represented by Nathan Sproul, another Arizona Republican whose name has become synonymous this year with schemes to frustrate voter registration.

22. No doubt they'll be diligently watching for any dangerous signs of democracy happening.

And stamp them out immediately.
