Reply #72: It might have been the word "file" [View All]

Merry Christmas and Peace to the DU family.

I think your frustration about "intelligent people" is a bit misplaced. You wrote:

"2004 Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will file today, in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio,papers in
support of the Green Party/Libertarian Party recount effort.

and

Kerry's entry into this recount effort changes the math on this matter dramatically

and

The activist push to get him involved had a significant effect on his decision to enter this effort.

Granted, you did write that Kerry's filing was not a complete entry into the recount effort, but I think it is perfectly understandable why people might have been confused, especially those readers with little or no knowledge of the legal profession. Judging by the amount of response that your original post generated, your story was misinterpreted by quite a few folks. I think your latest post clarifying the issue is appropriate and timely. It might prevent more than one person from appearing foolish and misinformed at gatherings of all sorts over this holiday season. Thanks Will!
