Poor, poor Doug Lewis thinks Kerry fighting back is a disaster.

[DoYouEverWonder]

The Kerry campaign is preparing to deploy at least 10,000 lawyers across election battleground states on 2 November to defend their candidate's right to take the White House in the event that the outcome of any count is called into question.

"It's disastrous for fundamental faith in the system itself," said Doug Lewis, director of the non-profit Election Centre. "There has been such a concerted effort to beat up on the system itself that people need to step back and understand that if you destroy the very process by which your candidate gets elected, then what have you gained?"

Responding to the Democrat legal manoeuvres, Marc Racicot, the chairman of the Bush campaign, said John Kerry would "say virtually anything to get elected ... including bringing chaos to this election, in order to ultimately bring about an opportunity for them to be successful".

A Kerry spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter, defended the legal blade-sharpening. "The first thing we will do is make sure everybody has an opportunity to vote and every vote is counted," she said. "We will be ready to hit the ground running and begin a fresh start in this country, given that so many critical issues are before us."
