Subject: RE: BS: Democratic voters blocked, GW confident
Here's more about the topic of this thread, the situation in Ohio and the law suit against the state's Republicans in power who are making it harder, not easier, for voters.

quote in part
"The truth is that while Ken Blackwell talks about making voting easier, he consistently takes steps that make it more difficult,"
Senator Dann remarked. "In 2004 he tried to impose a bizarre paper
thickness requirement for voter registration forms and this year he comes up with rules that are designed to derail voter registration
drives. His intent and that of the other Republican leaders in
the state is clear: they want to suppress voter turnout in a critical election year."
