Still angry, Kerry supporters nationwide try to change Ohio elections

Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Still angry a year later, John Kerry supporters across the country are donating money to an effort to overhaul elections in the state they blame for costing them the White House.

A New Mexico retiree who became incensed after reading last fall about pre-election directives by Ohio's secretary of state gave $100. A substance-abuse counselor in Maine who suspects Ohio-made electronic voting machines were tampered with to give President Bush the victory contributed $25.

The four constitutional amendments on Tuesday's ballot in Republican-dominated Ohio would expand voting by mail, limit campaign contributions and create bipartisan boards to draw districts and oversee elections - jobs now done by politicians. The amendments were proposed by Democratic-leaning groups.

Reform Ohio Now, a coalition of union and citizens groups that backs the amendments, has raised $2 million overall in donations and services, including nearly 3,300 contributions of $500 or less from all 50 states, totaling $120,000. A third of its money, $629,750, came from People for the American Way in Washington.

Despite the fact that only 16 percent of voter in Ohio used such? And the machines in question were overwhelmingly in Dem-controlled counties?

I don't know what is more shameless - the wingnut conspiracy theories, or the AP giving them coverage.

The republicans will carry Ohio by 500,000 votes in '08 now.

And in 2008 they will be giving to yet another fund that blames the election debacle in the state of _______ that cost them the election.

LIBERALS ARE NOT CONTENT UNLESS THEY ARE IN A STATE OF DISSATISFACTION.

"I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him,..."

I wonder if Kerry is still wearing his "barn coat."

Just for laughs. Could someone find and post that great pic of that sad sack woman protestor from Ohio protesting the final certification of the vote? What a great pic of a truly, truly, sad loser.

Let's add to that list of sympathetic donors: "wacked out left wing kooks all over the country are being suckered into sending their hard earned money to support a cause that doesn't exist - guaranteeing free elections in Ohio."

But not a damn penny to clean up the rats nest in NJ.
