COLUMBUS, Ohio - State Republicans withdrew thousands of more than 35,000 challenges to new voter registrations because of errors in their filings apparently caused by a computer glitch.

Over the weekend, the party withdrew about 4,700 challenges in Hamilton County because the names and addresses on the GOP list did not match voter rolls, and Franklin County officials in Columbus rejected two-thirds of about 4,200 challenges filed.


It is too late to file a new challenge under the statute the party used, John Williams, election director in Hamilton County, said Monday. There appeared to be an error in the database program used to print the challenges, so that addresses were not matched with the correct names, he said

7. But their message got out...

That it is Democrats...not Republicans who attempt to steal elections in America. This disturbing trend of GOP smear campaigns (such as the stories coming out of Florida about dems and unions preventing republicans from early voting) can only mean one of two things. Either the Republicans want to counter Kerry's complaints about voter fraud and intimidation so that the Media doesn't side with the Dems as they steal the election again or Bush isn't planning to concede if he loses to Kerry because of the perceived Democratic "dirty tricks."

9. Welcome to DU! I agree they are trying to get a meme out about

Democrats being the election-stealers, but I think it's weak and bound to fail - EDIT - based on lies and deit per the above poster. They are trying weak ass lies to deflect attention to their maneuvering to steal this one too. No one forgets Florida, Katherine Harris, and the rethug justices of the SCOTUS who decided to crown their king rather than allow the votes of the people to prevail.
