Democrats, for instance, will have 2,500 lawyers stationed across Ohio

Justice Dept., campaigns, dispatch poll observers
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-34222_162-57544629/justice-dept-campaigns-dispatch-poll-observers/

I think people should be comforted in knowing that while Romney may have dirty tricks up his sleeves... The President has the DOJ and 2,500 lawyers...

2,500?

That's crazy... 2,500 lawyers plus "The Justice Department announced today it is deploying more than 780 federal officials to 51 jurisdictions in 23 states on Election Day to watch for voting rights violations."

I think it might be difficult to steal an election from an incumbent President. Especially from one who is paying attention. President Obama is definitely paying attention. The 'True the Vote' goon squad might be in for a rude awakening.

Brownie should just crawl away and never speak again. He will always be the symbol of the Epic Shrub Katrina Fail!

I just want to thank DU for sheltering me during the last couple weeks. My first post here was to thank someone who had some info about the CA propositions. I've intermittently looked at different things here in the past... but being able to interact with predominantly sane people has helped me get through the MSM punditry.

So, to assuage the fears of those fearing a stolen election. And as a thank you, I bring back positive news that no one is going to easily suppress the vote...

It's all good.

Thanks DU!
