In reply to the discussion: Trump campaign planning to deploy 100K attorneys, volunteers to monitor vote counts [View all]LetMyPeopleVote
(180,647 posts)34. I was one of 3,000 out of state attorneys who went to Florida in 2004 as part of the Kerry Edwards Voter Protection tea
There were 800 out of state attorneys in Broward County where I was stationed. Kerry Edwards had approximately 11,000 out of state attorneys go to battleground states in 2004. It was interesting but you really need in state people who can be in the polling stations. This was my first experience with voter protection, and I have been working on voter protection efforts ever since.
In Texas, we are gearing up. I was in the voter protection boiler room for the primary and we will have teams out for the general election. I was on a zoom call for the state party two weeks ago on voter protection.
We will do our best to be ready and it will be interesting to see what happens.

So they are going to spend millions of campaign donations on Attorneys and not campaigning.

He's known for not paying lawyers on his own cases and he's currently going broke.

I'm an attorney who has served as a Democratic election observer and adviser. And haven't been paid a dime.

A suggestion. Instead of just pooh-poohing the repubs plan, sign up to be a Democratic volunteer observer
