| Judge restricts Republicans in Daschle Lawsuit |
| 2004-11-02 |
| Live blog EFL'd to bottom line. No media coverage I could find. The judge has issued an order restricting Republicans from recording license plate numbers of people leaving the polls in Charles Mix County. Well, this is a kick in the pants for the Democrats, who wanted the judge to force the Republican Party to completely re-deploy all its poll watchers. They had no substantive evidence, they relied on a Howard Dean operative who has been here for a day as the basis for their case, they looked desperate, they didn't get the relief they wanted, the entire GOP poll watching system is still in place, and more questions have been raised about why Democrats are so paranoid about people "ostentatiously taking notes." UPDATE: What they're saying Down Under, via Tim Blair: "Tom Daschle has taken his Republican opponent to court over the intimidation of Indian voters via aggressive eye-rolling." |

#1 Judge restricts Republicans in Daschle LawsuitUh, no he didn't. He said Republican poll-watchers couldn't write down the license numbers of vans leaving one polling station after the occupants had voted. Not exactly what Dash-hole was asking for. Guess he had to throw his best buddy a bone of some kind. |
