Edwards Warns Floridians of GOP 'Tricks'

``We know they're going to be up to their old tricks, right, trying to keep people from voting,'' Edwards told supporters gathered at a community block party. ``We're going to make sure that people get to vote. We're going to make sure those votes count, and here in Florida, democracy is going to decide who the next president of the United States is going to be.''

``We are at ground zero for where the decision will be made about who the next president of the United States will be,'' Edwards said. ``And, we know what's coming, right? We know what's coming. The Republicans are already up to it.''

The Democratic vice presidential nominee vaguely referred to a newspaper report that Gov. Jeb Bush ignored advice to scrap a flawed election voter list before it went out to county election offices in spite of a warning from leery state officials about the reliability of the data. http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/1097968506

Edwards also mentioned the rejection more than 10,000 voter registration forms that elections officials say were improperly filled out. That issue is now the subject of a lawsuit against Florida's largest counties.

``Whatever it is,'' Edwards promised, the Democratic Party will fight to ensure voters voices in Florida are heard.

1. Awesome. Glad Edwards and Kerry are on top of this.

Especially with idiots like this:

"Christine Iverson, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, dismissed the charge of Republican mischief. `The Kerry-Edwards campaign and the DNC has sent out instructions to Democrats across the country to make up accusations of voter intimidation where none exist. It sounds like John Edwards is following the DNC and Kerry play book,' she said.

It was a reference to a manual that the Democratic National Committee distributed in battleground states. The manual has a section telling operatives how to combat voter intimidation, and the GOP argues that the guidelines encourage Democrats to use scare tactics."

Republicans have been lying so long they've forgotten how to tell the truth.

5. Edwards is the **perfect** guy to have on top of this!

He's very well-versed in rooting out corporate negligence and criminality. He knows all the tricks.

No wonder the GOP fears him! :thumbsup:
