(CNSNews.com) - The Ohio Republican Party officially filed challenges Friday to approximately 35,000 registrants in 65 counties where voter fraud is believed to have taken place.
The state's Republican Party is pre-challenging these registrants' right to vote in the 2004 presidential election because mail to the new registrants was returned as undeliverable by U.S. Postal Service authorities.
"Our goal in filing these pre-election challenges is to protect the integrity of Ohio's electoral process," said Bob Bennett, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. "We want to ensure that voters are not disenfranchised by fraud in this election. This is an effort to clarify questionable registrations in advance so they don't become an issue on Election Day."
Earlier in the week, Bennett was joined by Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie at a news conference where he showed thousands of pieces of undeliverable mail to newly registered voters. Concern was raised when the rate of return was at an unprecedented higher rate than in the past.
At the previous news conference, Bennett cited that the normal rate of return on new registrations in less than 1 percent. However, this year the rate of return has ranged from 2 percent to 11 percent in Ohio counties.
Bennett also called on the Democratic Party to help in ensuring a fair and honest election this November, instead of making outrageous claims that the Republican Party is trying to suppress voters.

This is frightening.
After we win this election we are going to have to undertake a major effort to control voter fraud in the next congressional session.
And I guess I'm wasting my time asking why the media isn't making a bigger deal out of this. It's okay to steal an election if you're a Democrat, that is the rule isn't it?

"...ensure that voters are not disenfranchised by fraud..."
This is a good line and should be used repeatedly to combat the criminal element.

I hope Ohio is just the first pre=election day challenge the Republicans mount. We know this has been going on, a story the MSM is hiding.

Thanks.
I want the cheaters to know what they'll face. I become very angry when a privilege so many died for is abused.

You'd think that requiring identification to vote would be a no-brainer. At least Florida requires photo ID, unless you don't have it, then you have to sign an affidavit.
And absentee ballots should be notarized.

I am listening to John Bachelor on WMAL radio and he just had someone on who seemed fairly reasonable ...didn't catch his name. They were talking about the electoral college and he said he thought Bush knew he was losing in Ohio because of the economy.
Any thoughts?
This makes me sick.....sick....sick!
