Kennedy planning on litigation

From Tim Grieve at Salon we read of Robert Kennedy's planned next step:

Public Relations News, Features, and Analysis - PR Week This month, Rolling Stone ran an investigative feature claiming that Republicans used a systematic combination of voter disenfranchisement and fraud, centered in Ohio, to rob John Kerry of a win in the 2004 presidential election.

PRWeek: How did you come to write this piece?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: I had not paid much attention to this issue. And then a number of books came out, and I read them because I [wanted to use them] to interview people on my radio show. And then I read the [Rep. John] Conyers report, [a 2005 Congressional inquiry into the election], and started talking with people in Ohio. And at one point, I said, “Holy cow, this is real.” And then I talked to [RS editor] Jann Wenner about it. I encouraged him to do a piece, and he said “We'll print one if you write it.”

...
Kennedy: I've been meeting with attorneys... to devise a litigation strategy. And I would say that very soon we'll be announcing lawsuits against some of the individuals and companies involved.

PRWeek: Who exactly would that litigation be targeting?

Kennedy: I wouldn't say, right now.

PRWeek: The election is over. Is it too late now?

Kennedy: There's another election soon. And as the Times [just] reported, the same people are up to the same shenanigans.
