41% of Nov. 2 provisional ballots axed in Lucas County. |

Ralph and Barbara George are lifelong Democrats who first registered to vote for John F. Kennedy in 1960 and have lived in the same East Toledo house for 44 years.
More than 28,000 voters were purged from the Lucas County rolls last summer...http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050109/NEWS09/501090334/-1/NEWS

1. Is Lucas Co. a democratic? |

I find it interesting that they had the option of purging the rolls of "inactive" voters before or after the election, and in the true republican spirit of elections, they chose to eliminate potential voters.

Kerry's number goes up 22% over Gore's and Bush's goes up 19% over his previous figure.

2. 2/3 of provisionals in Florida rejected; and most due to official malfeasa |
|
Most provisionals in Ohio and Florida that were rejected were from voters who were either eligible voters or would have been other than active malfeasance on the part of poll workers or officials. Most of those whose votes were rejected should sign affidavits and pursue ethics charges or indictments against the officials responsible for their not being able to or allowed to vote.
