This article in the Oakland Tribune provides a good picture of the legions of volunteer lawyers ready to spring into action on Election Day and beyond.

"Partisan legal strategy calls for the loser to litigate any state's outcome if the vote difference is less then 2 percent. . . 'It's possible we could have not one but four major Floridas this time.'"

I've heard many people bemoan the injection of litigation into the election process. I, too, miss the days when elections were relatively straightforward. But, which would you rather have: a lengthy-but-fair election, or a rigged contest?

Thanks to Robert Brownstone for this lead.
