I'm researching and getting even more upset about this.
There's outrageous stuff going on.
Ohio's Secretary of State (Ken Blackwell) has denied thousands of new voter registrations turned in by Deomcrats because they weren't on 80 lb. card stock paper. In Montgomery County, Ohio (where I grew up) there is a backlog of 4,000 of these voter registrations - the Board of Elections has to try to get all those people to re-register, this time on card stock, by Oct. 4th or else these people will not be allowed to vote in the November election. And that's just in one county.
Ohio was refusing to count provisional votes (the special ballots given to voters who go to the wrong polling places on Election Day), so basically if you accidentally go to the wrong polling place, your vote wouldn't even be OPENED. Thousands of provisional votes were cast in the 2000 elections, which keep in mind were only decided by 537 votes. I think the Ohio board of elections has ruled that they must be counted... but who knows what willhappen on Nov. 2nd.
In 37 states including Ohio, Florida, and Texas, electronic voting machines made by Diebold (whose current CEO is on record stating that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President" this year) will be used on November 2nd even though there is NO paper trail. Any programmer can write code that displays one thing on a screen, records something else, and prints yet another result. There is no known way to ensure that this is not happening inside of an electronic voting machine.
I can't believe what is going on in this country. I can't believe Americans aren't demanding more, from their candidates and from each other. It's disgusting.
