(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.

Sorry, couldn't see your graphic, "bandwidth exceeded".
However, if you're infering from my new favorite sign that I'm pro choice, think again.
Do you see who is advocating that particular vote? Satan!
Get it?
A little late to be doins this 10 days out, but better now than after.
Hear that thundering sound? It's the DNC lawyers coming to Ohio....
The Establishment Media was ALL OVER the handful of fake signatures on Ralph Nader petitions. At least Nader got his signatures without bribing anyone with crack.
In Arizona, you don't even need identification to vote. The very idea was attacked by our Dem governor as the worst possible assault on our civil liberties.
Disenfranchised to the Kerry lawyers means you only get to vote once.
35,000 voters, divided by 35 registrations per voter = 1,000 registrations per voter.
"pro-choice" is just a lie.
Baby's never choose to die.
Every fraudulent vote cancels one legitimate vote, and there is no more pernicious form of disenfranchisement than nullifying the legitimate vote of an American by means of a fradulent vote cast for the other party.
Yowza!
is it five years for each act?........
Hows that saying go....the only way evil can triumph is when good men do nothing.....?
Exactly. I didn't say we do nothing. I think the GOP in Ohio is taking the right course.
But recognizing the right course does not mean not foreseeing what enemy reaction will be. I am hoping our strategists are planning for that which will be the Dem's obvious response.
I'm afraid it may take a Constitutional amendment.
Putting a few hundred to a thousand of these clowns away for 4 to 5 years will serve as a warning and cut down on this.
Blackwell is great and I've been giving her daily updates about the latest news regarding Ohio voter fraud, election polls and stats, etc.
She always feels better after we talk........she's so determined to get out and vote (early) that if she did drop dead before election day, I'm sure she'd rise from the grave to vote on Nov. 2nd.........she's a real character....LOL.
One wonders, since it is a privilege paid for in blood, why it has been so easy to pull off fraudulent voting. There ought to be as much effort in obtaining proper identification from voters as there is for getting a drivers license. In fact, the former responsibility carries more weight than the latter.
It is the duty of every honorable citizen to suppress the fraudulent vote.
Get it?
Yeah, I get it. The picture was of Satan. We're on the same side of the issue.
BITE it, 'Rats. :)
