Sigh. A federal appeals court on Saturday dealt a blow to Democrat election thieves in Ohio, but now the crooks have been handed a victory ... by Republicans.
"State Republicans withdrew thousands of more than 35,000 challenges to new voter registrations because of errors in their filings apparently caused by a computer glitch," the Associated Press reported today.
Heard about all that mail sent to thousands of non-existent new "voters" that had to be returned as undeliverable? Those scandals prompted the GOP to file challenges Friday in 65 of the 88 counties.
"Over the weekend, the party withdrew about 4,700 challenges in Hamilton County because the names and addresses on the GOP list didn't match voter rolls, and about two-thirds, or 2,800, of the 4,200 challenges in Franklin County, officials said," AP reported.
"It's too late to file a new challenge under the statute the party used, John Williams, election director in Hamilton County, said Monday. There appeared to be an error in the database program used to print the challenges, so that addresses weren't matched with the correct names, he said."
One positive note: The largest batch of challenges, about 17,000 in Democrat-run Cuyahoga County, is being processed because Republicans didn't screw those up.
seems to me the registrar of voters should challenge them themselves?
There's two things you can always count on in politics right now-
Democrats will be vicious bastards who will do anything to win.
And republicans, in order to look like "nice guys" (you know-the kind who finish last) will let them get away with it.
When are we going to start treating Democrats like the domestic terrorists that they are?
Why is Newsmax so angry and pessimistic? I've seen a few pots today with them bashing the GOP. How about supporting the GOP for the next week-and-a-half? Is that too much to ask?

The Republicans NEED to get some balls and actively prosecute the Rats for constant voter fraud! They will keep doing it, especially knowing that we will turn the other cheek!
Well, if this story is accurrate, they need to be bashed. Sorry, but playing nice doesn't work. We tried that & got spit on....it time for ass kicking....if the spineless Pubs will stand up & fight.
Demand that RINOs who are scared of being referred to as a "Racist" object to people who do not live in their areas voting, regardless of whether they are legal voters or frauds.
FYI in the State of Kansas, local State Senators voted to disallow their fellow Kansans from voting on the Marriage Amendment - result - after their votes, announced that they were not running for re-election.
Area Pastors got after them and made it a priority to let their congregations know who stood in the way of the Citizens of Kansas having a voice or vote.
These cowardly "public" servants only represent a minority, so make them pay at the ballot box next election!
The GOP needs to TRIPLE the democrats' army of 10,000 lawyers if we are going to prevent vote fraud on a massive scale. They need to challenge everything and everyone who tries to vote illegally. Don't be afraid of the "disenfranchisement" cries. They will be made regardless of what happens.
Why are repubs getting blamed for a software glitch ..?? Did they write the software ..??
Just like some in here are pessimistic
You would think so wouldn't you?
...and a note from your compiler of links- near the "last" are links about ACORN, Project Vote, PIGRIM, and other far-Left pressure groups who hide under the "activist" label while subverting representative government.
These nasty characters demean and dilute the value of everyone's vote.
The plan, besides their hope of throwing the election to sKerry, is to so thoroughly corrupt the election results that Mr. Bush will either not be taken seriously, or open to impeachment.
You had better take this stuff seriously- it is a dagger aimed at the heart of the Republic.
I don't know. The Pubs got most of the 35k. If the went after 10 and got 10 they would be praised but they went after 35k and lost a few and they are dissed. Go Figure.
The leadership of the GOP in many areas is incompetent. There is no excuse for their unwillingness to confront these very serious problems. They only encourage and allow it to continue.
I couldn't agree more. Newsmax is continually doom and gloom. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they want President Bush to win or not. Read a couple of LeBoutiller's columns and see if you think he wants President Bush to win.
What about that screw-ball butterfly ballot in Cuyahoga?
Is this true? Can if be verified? And if it is true, maybe the ballots the turned back are ok. Who knows? The thing is this: Voter fraud can only be carried out on a certain level. Unless the count is very close, fraud won't make a difference. I am concerned that the Demwits are doing this, but lets not panic at every little thing that comes along. This article may be BS to start with.
Lemme guess, by screwing the sum total of the country by allowing those who aren't registered to vote. If states had been on the stick from the outset by putting stop gap measures in place like "voter ID", garbage like this wouldn't be taking place 4 years later. Screw electronic voting. Most nitwits couldn't figure out the arrows on a daggum butterfly ballot. It's fraud in all it's nakedness we're fighting.
