Democrats file 9 suits in Florida

I'm torn as to whether they should have broken the law to allow the registrations or not.

Any particular reason why you're regurgitating Republican spin articles, Chad? I mean, I know Hatrack has to have at least one poster who does that, but I hadn't realized that Lambert had relinquished his post. Although I suppose I haven't seen him around in a while.

This one is an ANTI-Republican article as far as I can tell.

If it seems ANTI-Republican to you, you didn't read much of the article. All but one of the people quoted in the article are Republicans. For example:

Mr. Bush's campaign manager, Ken Mehlman, yesterday predicted that Mr. Kerry would employ "fraud, intimidation and lawsuits" in an attempt to overturn a Bush victory on Tuesday. He said if Democrats lose at the ballot box, they would use lawyers "to try to shoehorn a victory."
"What you're seeing is an attempt, through lawsuits and through intimidation, by Democrats to convert their allies' registration fraud into voter fraud on Election Day," he said. "What you're going to see is an attempt by them, regardless of what the outcome is, to say: 'It's unfair. We're going to sue.' "
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Ed Gillespie said the lawsuits are part of a Democratic plan to "use lawyers and baseless allegations to skew the results in their favor." He said the RNC thinks that "no legitimate voter should be disenfranchised, either by being denied a vote or by having an honest vote canceled out by a fraudulent vote."
Mr. Gillespie said teams of Democratic lawyers will seek to change the rules in ways that would make it easier to engage in systematic voter fraud on Election Day.

I wonder. If they win at the ballot box, and "lose" the overall election due to electoral college fuzziness, will they be "shoehorn"-ing a victory?

Errgg... only a few more days of this... a few more days...
