It’s not even Election Day yet, and already a horde of ravenous lawyers has descended upon Floruduh like a plague of locusts onto the last remaining bush in a desert. I guess they’re expecting more clueless Floriduh residents to a) not know for whom they voted or b) claim they voted for Obama, and then assert their vote was surreptitiously changed by the evil Bush/Halliburton/Cheney/Rove cabal to reflect a Republican vote.
But it’s all for the good of the voters and to protect the integrity of our electoral system! Really! Oh stop laughing!
One reason so many lawyers have been deployed… is to assemble any evidence of irregularities in voting or tallying that could be used in court. (The assumption being that there will be “irregularities,” because the Rethuglicans are desperate for a win)Goodness, but I love election season!

On Tuesday, an estimated 5,000 lawyers and law students supporting Obama will fan out across Florida to monitor polling sites and assist voters, especially in minority, elderly and heavily Democratic precincts. The volunteers supporting Obama will be wearing baseball caps tinted Democratic blue. (Because, as you well know, the evil Bush/Halliburton/Cheney/Rove cabal footsoldiers will be out en masse to disenfranchise anyone voting for the Anointed One ™)
“The object is to make sure that every voter, Republican and Democrat alike, who shows up at the polls on Election Day is able to vote,” said Broward attorney Charles Lichtman, in charge of Florida Democrats’ legal effort. “We’re there to problem-solve, not to litigate.” (Translation: The object is to make sure that every member of the disenfranchised minority, victim-of-the-month club can file a complaint about being disenfranchised by the evil Bush/Halliburton/Cheney/Rove cabal and that any Rethuglican leanings are immediately attributed to disenfranchisement of the minorities by the evil Bush/Halliburton/Cheney/Rove cabal.)
The Republican bloodsuckers are claiming that the high profile presence of the Democrat bloodsuckers could serve to intimidate voters into voting for Obama, when, in fact, they came into the polling place to cast a vote for McCain. I don’t think they really need to worry. Six percent of these morons had no idea for whom they voted in the first place. I doubt they can be intimidated. Bribed with a glass of milk, a chocolate chip cookie and the promise of a nap, maybe, but I doubt they have enough sense to be intimidated.
Meanwhile, the Democrat bloodsuckers are claiming the measure requiring identifying information on new voter registrations to match government records could be a disenfranchisement attempt by the evil Bush/Halliburton/Cheney/Rove, so they want to make sure everyone
Both camps claim actual lawsuits will be the last resort.
And rabid monkeys might fly out of my ass on national television…
