Not This Time...

John Kerry suggested Saturday night that Republicans may try to keep black voters from casting their ballots to help President Bush win in November. 'We are not going to stand by and allow another million African American votes to go uncounted in this election,' the Democratic presidential nominee told the Congressional Black Caucus.

'We are not going to stand by and allow acts of voter suppression, and we're hearing those things again in this election.

Kerry has a team of lawyers to examine possible voting problems to try to prevent a repeat of the 2000 election disputes. He also has said he has thousands of lawyers around the country prepared to monitor the polls on election day.

"What they did in Florida in 2000, some say they may be planning to do this year in battleground states all across this country," Kerry said. "Well, we are here to let them know that we will fight tooth and nail to make sure that this time, every vote is counted and every vote counts."More.:
