Ohio GOP challenges 35,000 on voter rolls
Cuyahoga board struggles to solve workload problem

A bare-knuckled political season got even rougher Friday when the Ohio Republican Party formally challenged the validity of 35,000 voter registrations across the state.

Republicans said their goal was to expel fraudulent voters and protect the integrity of the Nov. 2 election. But Democrats accused their rivals of mounting a systematic campaign to block people especially potential Democratic voters from casting ballots.


About 14,000 of the challenged registrations are in Cuyahoga County. Local elections boards have until Oct. 31 to review every registration, hold hearings where the parties can present evidence and notify every voter who could be tossed from the rolls.

That could be a nightmare in Cuyahoga, where elections officials met into the night Friday to figure out how to handle all the work.

1. wow

I am beginning to think that the "election" won't be "official" until late December, considering all the dirt that's piling up already.

2. A sign of what will happen in polling places all across the land.

I am very fearful that Nov 2, 3, 4...etc. are going to be an endless electoral nightmare. I can't even think what new sleazy measures the Republicans will do this time around. In the end, will the corrupted US Supreme Court select the pres. again?

3. Repub strategy = lie and "disqualify"

wonder if this has anything to do with the people who registered using the form printed in the Cleveland Plain Dealer?

4. I say mid to late Nov before Kerry wins.

The crooks are after the votes.
