IRISH Democrats have signed up hundreds of postal voters in a bid to win the US presidential election for John Kerry.

There are an estimated 40,000 American passport holders in Ireland and all are entitled to send absentee ballots to their states for the November election.

Democrats Abroad Ireland chairwoman Rebecca Woolf said: “We’re looking to get more numbers because in the closest states such as New Mexico and Florida, a few hundred votes from us would certainly tip the balance.” ..

Democrats Abroad Ireland sets up its stand every Thursday night in the mezzanine area of the Irish Film Institute's restaurant in Templebar, Dublin.

Ms Woolf is also planning a tour to Galway, Kilkenny and Donegal in September in a final push for votes.

1. Back during the primaries

I got an article from ParlerParis about how upset the American expats in France were.
Look for a lot of absentee ballots from abroad.
It's going to make a difference.
