CONTROVERSY ERUPTS AS VOTING BEGINS IN FLORIDA: DNC/KERRY BALLOT COLLECTION CALLED 'UNLAWFUL'

**Exclusive**

As early voting begins Monday in the sunburn State of Florida controversy has already developed around a Democratic National Committee/Kerry-Edwards election manual.

The election manual titled -- "FLORIDA VICTORY 2004" -obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT, advocates an apparent unlawful "BALLOT PICKUP" drive by campaign volunteers.

The DNC Kerry/Edwards manual states:

"In Florida, it is legal to handle ballots. This means it is possible for the campaign to canvass base neighborhoods, pick up completed ballots and deliver them to Early Vote locations. We will incorporate these deliveries into our Early Vote canvassing program."

But Florida State election law - as detailed at: http://election.dos.state.fl.us/absenteevoting.shtml - is in sharp contrast and conflicts with the Dem plan.

"A designee may pick up an absentee ballot for a voter on election day or 4 days before election day. A designee may only pick up two absentee ballots per election, other than his or her own ballot or ballots for members of his or her immediate family. Designees must have written authorization from the voter, present a picture I.D. and sign an affidavit. Candidates may pick up absentee ballots only for members of their immediate family."

It is not clear as this transmits, if any Dem operatives have yet collected ballots. A legal challenge will be filed to stop any action, top Republican sources tell DRUDGE.

The exhaustive FLORIDA VICTORY 2004 manual runs 26 pages with an 18 page appendix. It is signed by the DNC, Kerry Edwards, Florida Democrat Party, Kerry Edwards Campaign Chair, Florida Victory 2004, Florida AFL-CIO, Florida Education Association, Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, and Florida SEIU.

That's a stretch. Taking in completed ballots with their approval. The horrors of it.

Are you capable of starting one non-partisan thread?

The forum does not need a thread for every little dirty trick either side pulls.

I suppose you've heard of the Republican registering groups who shred Democrat registration forms? Probably not.

I could start a thread about your size, but it would be short.

MunkeBrain, everything you say has no credibility ever since you put "A Vote for Kerry is a vote for Terrorism" in your signature.

Why are you so rampantly partisan?

You know, if Drudge posted that "democrats try to blow up the sun!" you'd have people in arms, screaming about the "evil libs."

Sad, really.

I stopped reading when I read DRUDGE REPORT.

Honestly, why can't you guys be more sophisticated like us WoT'ers and realize that the sludge report is a pile of BS?

For the last time here folks.. "The Drudge Report" is Not, I repeat is NOT a reliable source of information. You might as well use a magic 8 ball.. they are both about equally reliable. :rolleyes:
