Reply #7: Right now, there's no other way for the election to go [View All]

as long as its as close as it seems. Both sides have lawyer teams in place right now to contest anything and probably everything. (Notice that the cries of Democratic voter fraud that we've been hearing for the last few weeks are no doubt intended to set the stage). And, of course, as some blog stated, all roads from the courts lead to the US Supreme Court and we already know how they will rule. The ONLY thing that will keep this from happening is that the margin of victory for Kerry be so big as to make the basis of the lawsuits be such that the outcome of the election would not be affected even if the courts were to rule for Bush. In other words, if the election is so close that the court challenges would make a difference in the election, Bush will ultimately get the decision from the SCOTUS.

Be ready for it and expect it. In a close election it WILL happen, again. We need to decide what we're going to do about another stolen election and preferably NOT discuss it publicly here on DU. Now is the time for the people to get ready with a response. We cannot be caught off guard like we were in 2000.
