LOL. The Florida GOP is protecting against vote fraud by repealing a law that prosecutors used to detect and prosecutre vote fraud. Bushian logic, indeed, cueball. "RICHMOND, Oct. 19 -- Top attorneys with Virginia's Democratic Party gathered Tuesday night to begin training 600 volunteer lawyers to fan across the state on Election Day to monitor the voting process and provide legal advice if irregularities emerge. Party officials said the effort, dubbed the 2004 Voter Protection Program, is fueled by the lingering fear of a Florida-style election debacle that could threaten the integrity of the process. They plan to hold five or six more training sessions over the next week. "We see our roles as supporting a system and cleaning up its inevitable mistakes," said Michael Signer, the voter protection coordinator for the state party. "We're giving voters the confidence that the system will work for them." Signer said the attorneys will stand outside polling places with other campaign workers and offer advice to voters who want it. He said they will also be on hand to advise party leaders if voting machines malfunction or there are other problems. Lt. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D), a former civil rights lawyer, urged about 40 people at the party's headquarters to use their legal knowledge to make sure that every voter who wants to vote can do so. "We're operating in a new world after the 2000 presidential elections," Kaine told them. "It's a world where we now know we have to have on-the-ground, at-the-polls people who know what the law is and can answer questions." The Virginia effort is part of a nationwide push by both parties to have lawyers in place during what both sides expect to be a very close race. In 2000, lawyers descended on Florida only after it became clear that complaints about the state's election had the potential to alter the outcome of the presidential contest."
