Well if the federal law overrides state law, then his legal action would not be at the level of gore. If that was erroneous data that was posted earlier this morning, then the law is the law.knc

They're dragging out Kerry to fight this battle for them:
As usual they are staking out both sides of the issue.

Kerrey said Tuesday service members had a responsibility to make sure their ballots were properly witnessed and postmarked.

"If they have a legal ballot, it should be counted. If it is not a legal ballot, it should not be counted," Kerrey said. "Men and women in the military should not expect, and do not expect, to be treated in some fashion that has them being a pawn in a political argument that's very tense and very passionate here in Florida."

Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer called Butterworth's announcement "a belated attempt at damage control."

"After successfully knocking out as many military votes as they could find, the Democrats don't like the criticism they are receiving, so they've issued a political press release that has no legal impact," Fleischer said. "They accomplished their mission and now they're running for cover. They never should have targeted our nation's servicemen and women in the first place."

The federal law on that should preempt the state law if it comes down to needing those votes. Just depends on who wants to fight for it.
