diebold?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And Mr. Kerry said: "When I win the nomination, I'm going to put together the strongest legal team that we've ever had in this country and we are going to challenge, we're going to start with a challenge to the Diebold election system."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So if he doesn't get the nomination....to hell with it?

:shrug:

1. Actually...
...all of them have said that they'd address it "after getting the nomination"...well, at least any that have mentioned it (Dean, Kucinich, Kerry, Clark - if my list is incomplete or incorrect, i apologize, not intentional)...i think it's because they've not the weight to do anything prior to nomination...although one might be tempted to say those in congress could do something now...

2. Legal standing
It may be that the lawyers figure complaints by someone not directly affected might be easily dismissed. As a national candidate, the Democratic nominee has a de facto stake in insuring the voting mechanisms are correct.
