The
Coming Post-Election Chaos: A
Storm Warning of Things to Come If the Vote Is as Close as
Expected
FindLaw 22/10/04
"This next presidential election, on November 2, may be
followed by post-election chaos unlike any we've ever known
Look at the swirling, ugly currents currently at work in this
conspicuously close race. There is Republicans' history of going
negative to win elections. There is Karl Rove's disposition to
challenge close elections in post-election brawls. And there is
Democrats' (and others) new unwillingness to roll over, as was
done in 2000. Finally, look at the fact that a half-dozen lawsuits
are in the works in the key states and more are being developed.
This is a climate for trouble. A storm warning is appropriate. In
the end, attorneys and legal strategy could prove as important, if
not more so, to the outcome of this election as the traditional
political strategists and strategy..."
Another
tight race could end in court
Boston Globe 23/10/04
"Republicans and Democrats have enlisted thousands of lawyers
and armed themselves with prepared legal complaints to be ready to
challenge the results of the election in any key state where the
vote is close, raising the possibility that this tight contest
will once again be resolved by the Supreme Court long after the
polls have closed..."
Kerry
sends 10,000 lawyers to fight for battleground states
The Independant 22/10/04
"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.
The aggressive strategy, born out of a determination to avoid
mistakes made by Al Gore in 2000, has enraged Republicans, who say
that the Democrats risk sabotaging the election day process before
it even begins. It is also kindling fears that the day may descend
into a legal maelstrom even more intense than that seen four years
ago..."
Big
G.O.P. Bid to Challenge Voters at Polls in Key State

"Republican Party officials in Ohio took formal steps
yesterday to place thousands of recruits inside polling places on
Election Day to challenge the qualifications of voters they
suspect are not eligible to cast ballots.

Party officials say their effort is necessary to guard against
fraud arising from aggressive moves by the Democrats to register
tens of thousands of new voters in Ohio, seen as one of the most

Dismantling
democracy
David Neiwert blog "Orcinus" 21/10/04
"If you thought Florida in 2000 was a debacle that inflicted
a grievous wound on American democracy, just wait. Thanks to Team
Bush, the 2004 election is shaping up to make that look like a tea
party..."
Voters
angry at chaos in early US polls
Guardian 20/10/04
"Early voting in the US election has been beset by computer

As
Election Nears, Parties Begin Another Round of Legal Battles
NYT 18/10/04
"...The legal combat in Ohio over the fundamental issue of
who can vote is recurring in virtually every battleground state
this year, in what experts say is fast becoming, in its final
weeks, the most litigious, lawyer-fraught election in history.
The two sides have been mobilizing for months, but in recent days
the battle has been joined on a number of fronts. In New Mexico,
Republicans unsuccessfully sued the Democratic secretary of state
to require that most new voters show identification at the polls.
In Florida, Democrats have filed 10 election lawsuits against
Republican officials. In Pennsylvania, plans by the Democratic
governor to have state workers help monitor the election have
stirred Republican suspicions. In Colorado, the Republican
secretary of state has accused the Democratic attorney general of
not aggressively investigating registration fraud..."

2000: The Sequel
Slate 18/10/04

election could remain in doubt after Nov. 2 and how all of them
raise the possibility of court intervention..."

Pre-Election Observation Report - Fair Election International
October 2004
"...This report is the result of an independent,
non-governmental pre-election observation of the U.S. electoral
process, conducted in September 2004 by a 20-person delegation of
