Welcome to the new era of elections.
Sad to say but from this day forward, all elections decided by less than 3% will be chalanged in court.
No more election night victory celebrations, if your candidate happens to win a close race, tough sh!t and screw you, hopefully you will have an answer by New Years (that is of course that the victory wasn't stolen from under you through the process).

It's really a disgrace that International monitors are now chaperoning US elections.

(Atleast they did something here.)

Official to handle cases of vote fraud

LAS VEGAS — A federal prosecutor has been named to handle voter and election fraud cases in Nevada.

Camille W. Damm, an assistant U.S. attorney in Las Vegas, was named state election officer under a national voting integrity program announced earlier this month by Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Similar appointments have been made in recent days in other states.

Damm’s appointment to the two-year position was announced in a statement from Daniel Bogden, chief U.S. attorney in Nevada, and Ellen Knowlton, FBI special agent in charge in Las Vegas.

It said that on Tuesday, Damm will oversee teams of federal attorneys and FBI agents available in Las Vegas and Reno to take complaints of voter bribery, intimidation and ballot forgery.

The statement did not address Damm’s role in an FBI investigation of voter fraud in Nye County.

The bureau has declined comment about the investigation since agents on Oct. 21 seized ballots, absentee ballot applications and voter rolls from the 2000 elections and the Sept. 3 primary election from Nye County offices in Tonopah.

Days earlier, a Nye County District Court judge in Pahrump scratched almost 5 percent of the county’s 18,667 registered voters from the voter rolls, saying they were either dead or didn’t live where they said they did.

The judge’s rulings came after some Pahrump residents complained about irregularities in recent elections.
