My 5 Ken Blackwell True False questions for a Flash movie feedback needed

[roseBudd]

I pasted them below. I am attemting to add a grading control to the True Flase components, so it is a good time to edit, either with additions or subtractions to the verbage. English majors, debators and knowledgable election stealage DUers encouraged to take a crack at them:

1. Republican Secretary of State Ken Blackwell issued a directive on September 4, 2001 that voter registration forms not printed on 80 lb. cardstock should not be accepted by county Board of Elections. (even though...?)


2. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio), used the phrase ''in the right church but the wrong pew.'' to describe what happened to voters who reported to the correct polling location but stood in the wrong line and were forced to vote on provisional ballots that were not counted due to a Blackwell directive limiting provisional ballots (something) to the right precinct even though in the primary just months earlier this (something).

3. African American voters in Ohio were 20% more likely than whites to be forced to cast a provisional ballot. (and...?)

4. Nearly three percent of all voters in Ohio were forced to vote provisionally -- and more than 35,000 of their ballots were ultimately rejected. (The percentage of those votes cast by African Americans was...?)

5. Insufficient voting machine allocation had a disparate effect on urban, predominantly African-American voters who reported lines as long as 8 hours (while the majority of white majority precincts reported...?)

5. LOL! I think we should call the Chamber of Commerce and ask

4. Some possible edits/additions:

1. Republican Secretary of State Ken Blackwell issued a directive on September 4, 2001 that voter registration forms not printed on 80 lb. cardstock should not be accepted by county Board of Elections. (even though...?)

...even though it was an arbitrary standard that would result in thousands of valid registrations being voided.


2. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio), used the phrase ''in the right church but the wrong pew.'' to describe what happened to voters who reported to the correct polling location but stood in the wrong line and were forced to vote on provisional ballots that were not counted due to a Blackwell directive limiting provisional ballots (something) to the right precinct even though in the primary just months earlier this (something).

...due to a new Blackwell directive (in violation of federal law) that provisional ballots not count unless cast at the right table in a roomful of precinct tables.


3. African American voters in Ohio were 20% more likely than whites to be forced to cast a provisional ballot. (and...?)

...which were counted last, if they were counted at all.



4. Nearly three percent of all voters in Ohio were forced to vote provisionally -- and more than 35,000 of their ballots were ultimately rejected. (The percentage of those votes cast by African Americans was...?)

Nearly X thousands voters in Ohio were forced to vote provisionally -- and 35,000 of their ballots were ultimately rejected. Of these, __% came from heavily African-American or Democratic-leaning districts.



5. Insufficient voting machine allocation had a disparate effect on urban, predominantly African-American voters who reported lines as long as 8 hours (while the majority of white majority precincts reported...?)


(I'd just stop at 8 hours: that speaks for itself.)
