excerpt from news article written by Joselyn King:

U. S. Rep. Bob New, R-Ohio, has made the following prediction regarding next week's election - there will be a multitude of court actions stemming from his Help America Vote Act legislation.

The new election laws, he said, were crafted to "make it easier to vote, but harder to cheat."

"We may have a clear winner (in the presidential race), but we will see a ton of lawsuits after the election," Ney said. "However, the Help America Vote Act - as I wrote it - has thus far been held up in different court decisions 6-0."

He added that HAVA does "much more to modernize the election process" than requiring new technology for voter registration and eliminating punch card voting machines in 2006.

He added that HAVA also requires that the voter registration roles throughout the country be merged together by computer by 2006.

"If you vote in West Virginia and try to vote again in Ohio, we are going to catch you," Ney said.

He also predicts that Ohio and Florida will decide the 2004 presidential election.

"Hopefully, there will not be a 500-vote difference this time" as was the case in Florida in 2000, Ney said. "Hopefully there will be a mandate that will stand up in court."

1. With 20,000 lawyers at the ready

it would kind of be a waste if there wasn't a few lawsuits, wouldn't it?

My, how far we've fallen.

2. Gee whiz! There'll be only 250 lawyers available to Dems in W. Va.!

Seriously . . . what made me chuckle was imagining somebody going to the polls and voting in West Virginia and, then, driving across the nearest bridge to Ohio in order to vote a second time for Kerry. I mean: On Tuesday, my husband and I will be voting in West Virginia and, then, driving across the nearest bridge to Bob Ney's congressional district in Ohio in order to order something for lunch at the Eat-n-Park.

3. Please put Vote for Brian Thomas on your car

We want to make sure Ney will be able to find you. LOL
I'm afraid I will be stuck with that blob again. Brian does not have the money to go up against him; and our district is sooooo gerrymandered that the pubbies had to add a wart to it so that Ney could still reside there.

4. If Ney would happen to find us . . .

. . . he'd more than likely turn the other way and pretend not to know us! I mean: We've sorta "met" before. LOL

5. Isn't he...

...the same arsehole behind the "Freedom Fries" name change in the House cafeteria?

Wotta moran!
