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.
/snip
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.

If you can't win by the rules, and cheating no longer works... try to stack the rules in your favor.

People in need are supposed to be getting help from this idiot? Sad.

We call the "Deform Ohio Now".
Yet the ads are misleading and in an off year, this could be dangerous.

I wonder if Kerry is still wearing his "barn coat."The coat, which was supposed to give him that "everyman" air, didn't really have the desired effect.
It has not been seen since election day ended.

Love those pixs. You know, my Grandfather's girlfriend (don't ask) was whining about Florida 2000 for like an hour one day. She, actually lives in Florida (of course, she's old). Finally I said to her, honey, the more it upsets you the happier it makes me. She FINALLY shut up.

Thank you for the FABULOUS pics!
BTW, your tagline is also great.

I can't remember her name, but she has this most anguished look on her face, as a fellow protestor clown sitting on the ground next to her looks like he hasn't had sex in years. Or least with a woman.

That is great photo collage.
That Kerry is such a delusional ahole, and I still can scarcely believe that he came as close as he did.

Of course not, the rat's nest of NJ voted in a socialist democrat, so all was correct in their world. You know the drill, if someone actually voted for anyone other than a socialist democrat or communist candidate, then the vote was rigged.

I would support these changes if they also included ID check at the polls. This would probably wipe out 200,000 fraudulent Dem votes

I quite agree... something has to be done to correct those various east Cleveland precincts that had approx 1850 registered voters each...and subsequently the precincts reported over 3,000 voting in the last election.
(Hmmmmmm...Aren't East and South East Cleveland precincts overwhelmingly minority Democrats???

What Republican in his right mind would oppose whatever would reasonably be expected to reduce election fraud?
Of course, one should not accept without question that any proposal from the left side of the aisle would actually have any such effect.
