For all who is doubting the Kerry team on recount efforts & elect. fraud,

[TexasChick]

read this great dairy from DailyKOS. I wanted to share this positive diary a lady posted on the DailyKOS. She has very good info on what Kerry plans to do with all the election fraud going around. Read her response to her son who is severely frustrated with the dumb Chimp supporters who desperately want to believe there are still WMD in Iraq at the link below.

I have met with the comment, "Yeah, so what if we vote, the whole election is rigged and my vote probably won't be counted." I am sure that you hear a lot of Diebold suspicion voiced around Ann Arbor. Last night I emailed friends who have expressed worry about voter fraud:

Yes, Bush sent rent-a-mobs in Enron jets to Florida in 2000 to grab the election. But, Kerry is more-than-ready for a fight (Oct 20 AP release).

Excerpts:
"Sen. John Kerry, bracing for a potential fight over election results, will not hesitate to declare victory Nov. 2 and defend it, advisers say. He also will be prepared to name a national security team before knowing whether he's secured the presidency.(...)"

"Six so-called "SWAT teams" of lawyers and political operatives will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry's orders to speed to a battleground state. The teams have been told to be ready to fly on the evening of the election to begin mounting legal and political fights. Every battleground state will have a SWAT team within an hour of its borders."

"The Kerry campaign has recount office space in every battleground state, with plans so detailed they include the number of staplers and coffee machines needed to mount legal challenges. "

"'Right now, we have 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on Election Day, and that number is growing by the day,' said Michael Whouley, a Kerry confidant who is running election operations at the Democratic National Committee. (...)"

"Democrats are already laying the public relations groundwork by pointing to every possible voting irregularity before the Nov. 2 election and accusing Republicans of wrongdoing."

"On Election Day, Whouley will head the so-called "boiler room," probably in Washington, that tracks vote counts and ensures Kerry doesn't concede too soon. Whouley was the aide who, after noticing Florida was too close to call in 2000, called Gore's team in Tennessee and told them to put the brakes on the concession speech."
