The Coming Assault on the Electoral System
It’s becoming clear that if John Kerry fails to be elected, the DNC is going to immediately spring into litigation mode: Kerry Recount Strategy Different From Gore’s.
WASHINGTON —Sen. John Kerry has a simple strategy if the presidential race is in doubt on Nov. 3, the day after the election: Do not repeat Al Gore’s mistakes.
Unlike the former vice president, who lost a recount fight and the 2000 election, Kerry will be quick to declare victory on election night and begin defending it. He also will be prepared to name a national security team before knowing whether he’s secured the presidency.
