[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [URL=http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/pubs/reformmandate/reportpage4.asp]NOT Florida[/URL] [QUOTE]In an effort to keep the polls open past the closing time mandated by statute, Plaintiffs the Gore-Lieberman Campaign, William L. (Lacy) Clay's Campaign, and the Missouri State Democratic Committee filed a lawsuit in St. Louis City Circuit Court in which the lead Plaintiff (Robert D. Odom) was dead. The Plaintiffs then stated that the actual lead Plaintiff was Robert M. Odom. The Plaintiffs claimed that Robert M. Odom was not allowed to vote. However, Mr. Odom in fact had voted and had no trouble voting. As a result of the lawsuit and the representations made by the lead Plaintiff and witnesses, the St. Louis City Circuit Court issued an Order keeping the polls open in St. Louis City past the closing time mandated by statute. The information suggests that the lawsuit was not filed as a result of problems that occurred on election day, but instead was filed as a result of a plan conceived before election day. At about the same time that the court issued the Order, St. Louis City residents were receiving pre-recorded telephone messages from Rev. Jesse Jackson telling them they could vote late, and half an hour later Vice President Al Gore was telling KMOX radio listeners that the polls were still open. The purpose of these communications was to encourage persons not eligible to vote because of their failure to get to the polls on time to nonetheless go to the polls and vote. [/QUOTE]I should also point out, for my marginally-literate colleague, that the TalkLeft article included a bit about non-Floridian felons, and made a case for a [b]nationwide[/b] change. [URL=http://www.legis.state.wi.us/senate/sen04/news/articles/art2001-13.htm]Wisconsin[/URL] It is believed that as many as 11% of the voters in Maryland in 1996 were non-citizens. Maybe now we know why. [/QB][/QUOTE]
