ROFL! This is news? I'm FROM Ohio, and western Ohio is, in general, quite conservative outside of heavily urbanized areas. It's like some sort of conspiracy that Kerry didn't clean up there! DUH! And whose ass did they pick that "long line - didn't vote" number from. If you're not willing to wait in line to vote or do not plan ahead to vote absentee, tough cookies. Your vote is as important as you want it to be. I was in Toledo on election day 2004 - and it was just a horribly cold, rainy day - my roommate at the time (a Naderite in 2000) didn't go and vote. I'm surprised THAT didn't get brought up too. But I guess you can't blame Republicans for the weather (unless it's a hurricane).
Crybabies through and through.
This should be a bumper sticker:
