[regularjoe]

I know there are lots of things I can't remember but here is my list so far. It is posted at http://www.1-2-free-forums.com/mf/viewtopic.php?p=26&mforum=mtf#26

My goal is to a have a nice list of problems to choose from when introducing this topic to the media. Regardless of whether you think it will work or not, please add instances I haven't thought of an please cite your source (even thought I didn't).

If this thread gets long and hard to dig through I can recompile all the imput and start a new thread.

3. secretary of state in Ohio

changing rules for provisional ballots no less than 6 weeks before election leading to confusion and misinformation (new law -- "a provisional ballot must be cast *in your precinct* -- when the whole idea behind provisional ballots is you cast your ballot, give your old address and new address, and they confirm you are a registered voter, just in a new district (my understanding, please feel free to clarify or change if I didn't get it right) ( http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/3/2004/983 )

BTW: he retracted the 80# paper weight under public pressure (his "reasoning" behind it, as he told Tavis Smiley, was that 10 years ago many absentee ballots were destroyed in the mail machines...) -- though many districts did not take the requirement off of their websites -- and some districts sent back "disqualified" absentee ballots, when it was not necessary ...
