in 2004
1
Toledo Democrat precincts shut down.. ' no number 2 pencils'
2 Kenyon college students had to wait, some of them til 4 am
They voted AFTER Hawaii polls closed.
3. Warren Democratic observers locked out
4. People in North Hill in Akron were left standing in the rain
for a half hour though staff was inside
5. Around the state Blackwell caused undermanning and undermachining
in Democratic precincts
6. KERRY LEFT OFF THE CINCINNATI ABSENTEE BALLOT
7. It was at the Fairlawn Hilton in Fairlawn Ohio that Cheney was told
by O'Dell of Diebold that Diebold woulud do whatever it could to
give Bush a victory

1. Secretary of State Jennifer Bruner is a Democrat
She is doing much to deter those thing from happening this time.

2. In addition....
...no one on this forum needs to be reminded of what happened in 2004. Many of us had ring-side seats.

And a lot of those schenanigans came straight from the office of Ken Blackwell.

3. And here's an article from Truthout that discusses these issues
http://www.truthout.org/article/ten-ways-gop-is-now-stealing-ohio-vote

We have a difficult road ahead of us ... I know we have Jennifer Brunner, but we still have WAY too many sleazy Republicans in power to cause havoc on Election Day.
