Great article
in the NYT today about how the GOP plans to steal the election in
Ohio. They've signed up 3600 people to be "poll watchers", hanging out
in heavily Democratic districts and challenge whether specific voters
have the right to vote. They may or may not catch a few people
improperly registered, but that's not the point. The point is to make
voting in Democratic districts really upleasant.
"Our concern is Republicans will be challenging in large numbers for
the purpose of slowing down voting, because challenging takes a long
time,'' said David Sullivan, the voter protection coordinator for the
national Democratic Party in Ohio. "And creating long lines causes our
people to leave without voting.''
As usual, the Democrats are now trying to match the Republicans for
dirty tricks but aren't doing as good a job at it. They've got 2000
poll watchers of their own in Ohio.
