Jim Crowe in Ohio, 2004
3,600 poll watchers to monitor voters, who want to bet the number of black people who get the boot will be a bit large.
In Ohio among other states thousands of voters have registered Democratic to remove Bush from the white house, in turn Republicans only got few hundred to register, so they cry voter fraud.
They're stopping people from voting and if that doesn't work they stop them from being counted!
You need to get off of your ass today and make so calls, make a diffrence volunteer some time to get out the vote because we're in the last strech and we just can't let this kind of element run our country again.

3,600 poll watchers to monitor voters, who want to bet the number of black people who get the boot will be a bit large.
Republican Party officials in Ohio took formal steps yesterday to place thousands of recruits inside polling places on Election Day to challenge the qualifications of voters they suspect are not eligible to cast ballots.
Party officials say their effort is necessary to guard against fraud arising from aggressive moves by the Democrats to register tens of thousands of new voters in Ohio, seen as one of the most pivotal battlegrounds in the Nov. 2 elections.
Election officials in other swing states, from Arizona to Wisconsin and Florida, say they are bracing for similar efforts by Republicans to challenge new voters at polling places, reflecting months of disputes over voting procedures and the anticipation of an election as close as the one in 2000.
Ohio election officials said they had never seen so large a drive to prepare for Election Day challenges. They said they were scrambling yesterday to be ready for disruptions in the voting process as well as alarm and complaints among voters. Some officials said they worried that the challenges could discourage or even frighten others waiting to vote.
Ohio Democrats were struggling to match the Republicans' move, which had been rumored for weeks. Both parties had until 4 p.m. to register people they had recruited to monitor the election. Republicans said they had enlisted 3,600 by the deadline, many in heavily Democratic urban neighborhoods of Cleveland, Dayton and other cities. Each recruit was to be paid $100.
