TERRORIST ATTACKS ON ELECTION DAY?
Orin Kerr, engaging in “amateurish speculation,” raises the scary prospect of Al Qaeda attacks on voting locations on Nov. 2:
I think the more likely Al Qaeda move would be to try to destabilize the U.S. political system. A weakened United States government might mean a government less likely to pressure Iran, more likely to withdraw from Iraq, and less able to help Israel…
Fears of attacks at polling places in the U.S. might discourage people from voting; low and uneven turnout could foster a sense that whoever is declared the winner was “Al Qaeda’s candidate” rather than the legitimate winner.
