Gee. Wonder if Our Fearless Leader's armies will be quite so blithe about trying to programmatically disenfranchise otherly-hued voters if it looks as if they're going to have to, you know, deal with the consequences of being charged with a felony if they turn out not to have the personal knowledge of the otherly-hued voters they're disenfranchising that they have to affirm in their affidavits.
Meanwhile, Our Fearless Leader has more or less the same plan he has for pretty much everything
Oh, please. Do rely on your enthusiasm.
I'm sure lots of people will cross the aisle if you offer to let them vote.
Yep. This looks good.
An army of lawyers from both parties will be manning polls in battleground states, and the legal wrangling over ballot issues continued to rage hours before the polls were to open. In Ohio, the GOP's plans to mount an aggressive program challenging voters at the polls were cast into doubt yesterday by a flurry of federal court rulings, but Republican officials continued to pursue appeals last night.
In other battleground states, Democrats have plans to challenge the challengers. Democratic officials in Philadelphia, for example, have threatened to file federal lawsuits against individual poll challengers who violate citizens' voting rights through harassment or intimidation.

"That finish line is in sight," Mr. Bush told reporters as he arrived in Pittsburgh, his second stop of the day. "And I just want to assure you I've got the energy, the optimism and the enthusiasm to cross the line."
At each stop, Mr. Bush exhorted the crowd to vote in an election in which the winner is almost certain to be the man who turns out more of his own party's supporters.
"I'm here to ask for your help," Mr. Bush said at his first stop in an airport hangar in rural Wilmington, Ohio, where Marine One roared to a halt soon after dawn. "You get your friends and neighbors to go to the polls. Find our fellow Republicans, wise independents and discerning Democrats and tell them, if they want a safer America and a stronger America and a better America, to put me and Dick Cheney back in office."
Oh, please. Do rely on your enthusiasm.
