Yuck!
This is truly disgusting:
Setting the stage for a post-election legal challenge to the recall vote, Democrats are set to launch a national fund-raising campaign today to help pay for any legal action needed if Tuesday’s election on Gov. Gray Davis’ future is close.Seeking to avoid what they called “another Florida-style fiasco,” the state party and a national Democratic group called Democrats for America’s Future said they hope to raise $100,000 to place poll watchers around the state Tuesday and to help with post-election legal challenges that may come up
…
“I’m focused on winning the recall, not winning it in a legal challenge,” Davis said in response to a reporter’s question at a campaign appearance in Los Angeles.
But Democrats clearly plan to be ready with any post-voting challenges they may feel are needed, including lawsuits.
“The answer to that is, absolutely,” state party spokesman Bob Mulholland said when asked whether the conduct of the voting may spark yet another legal challenge. “We’re going to do everything that’s legal to have the votes counted in California, and we’re putting the Republicans on notice that we’re prepared for their goon tactics this time.”
Why not eliminate the middle man altogether and just have judges select the governor?
