Local story on the 35000 challenged in Ohio. Shameful AntiAmerican
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 10:08 AM by Skinner
Challenged Voters In Jefferson County
Registered voters in Jefferson County may find their right to vote has been challenged. Across Ohio, 35,000 registered voters have been challenged, 171 of those in Jefferson County.

Ronald Six, of Steubenville, did not know his voter registration information was being challenged until News 9 called him.


This is the first time Ive seen the note, Ronald Six said.=

Mr. Six says he updated his information but did not receive the letter from the Board of Elections saying he needed to verify his address. When News 9 spoke with him, he said he would have gone to the polls not realizing his right to vote was in question.

They probably would not have allowed me to vote. I was planning to go down there to vote, when the election comes up.

The Board of Elections in at least 62 of Ohios 88 counties have scheduled hearings for those people being challenged.

Wednesday, U-S District Judge Susan Dlott ruled that six counties, Franklin, Lawrence,

Medina, Cuyahoga, Scioto and Trumbull, temporarily stop the hearings. Though, Jefferson County is not included in the ruling, Democratic officials say they hope Ohio Secretary of State, Kenneth Blackwell, apply the ruling to all Ohio counties.

1. Pankus?
Questions:
- Who is Edward A. Pankus?
- What is his interest in denying these people their right to vote?
- Why hasn't somebody kicked his ass all over Ohio?

2. Edward Pankus...
Google seems to have him as an anti-abortion crusader in Ohio.

I love your site. It's so full of truth that I have to scrape my shoes off before leaving my computer screen. I figured it out, your just parodying the leftist socialists agenda for our enjoyment, right? Your creative writing is humorous and goes beyond the pale to the ridiculous that you may actually have something of value here for all Americans to enjoy.

Continued success and keep writing. It helps so many of us see the weak foundation of a dying ideology and draws a distinct line in the sand between our everyday lives in a free country while exposing the desire of progressive liberals to lead us to complete chaos and the destruction of national sovereignty under the guise of greater security...No one understands and writes this propaganda better than you Michael.

5. Perhaps I've missed some posts....
... but what, if anything, are the Dems doing to fight these constant voter challenges in Ohio and elsewhere? Are we going to FIGHT BACK or roll over and let the Repugs steal this election ala 2000? This crap is ridiculous and shameful!!!

6. There are 2000 Dem lawyers in Fla alone
complained a Repuke today! Believe me, Democrats do have pollwatchers and attorneys ready to challenge this stuff in the key states.
One Dem today said on NPR that they had to go clear up a situation where a pollworker was not letting people vote without a state driver's license. He was thankful for the early voting because it helped work out the kinks in the system.

But I suppose there won't ever be enough eyes to watch what the demonic Repukes will do to steal an election.
