several states as a matter of strategy; huge number of voters affected and more races than the Presidential race.
There was widespead, systematic disinfranchisement of minority voters in the 2004 election that prevented hundreds of thousands of minority voters from voting, in several states. This affected the election results on many races in several states, and in particular the presidential race.
This is documented by the Election Incident Report System(EIRS) reports at
www.voteprotect.org / maps and also by other documentation.
Some examples:
Huge numbers(over 100,000) of voters systematically disinfranchised in New Orleans,
La. (which has the largest group of minority voters and Democrats in the state), by shortage of voting machines, pattern of improperly functioning voting machines throughout the area, but not in other areas, and systematic malfeasance by officials.
