1. That takes my breath away!

and now I have tears in my eyes. Dare we hope for so much? Hang in there guys; keep working. It's not done yet.

Edit: Farmbo - go post this in the Ohio forum. I do it, but don't want to steal your glorious post.

3. Do we have a plan if they challenege voters at the polls in Ohio?

Do we have a plan if they do not put ENOUGH voting machines in Democratic urban areas which could cause huge lines, and delay the vote

and most important, why don't we have a paper trail?

4. Your second point is the most germaine

The inner-city polling places WILL be grossly undersupplied. My advice would be to get a provisional ballot and then start riotingUnfortunately the only way to defeat a bully is to punch him in the nose. If a few GOP cars are set ablaze, we MIGHT get the media's attention.

6. You indicate that the inner-city polling places WILL be undersupplied

hasn't anything been learned from 2004?

The provisional ballot was a joke in 2004, and I would expect it to be just as worthless this year

As far as resorting to violence, that will only be used against us, and the media will NOT back us on that

Preventive action is far more important

I also do not think people should be over confident, since it seems very little has been done to insure that voters are NOT disenfranchised

7. Yes, things have been learned

by the GOP. They learned that they can refuse Dems the right to vote and not be held accountable. That's why once provisional ballots have been secured a little civil disobediance is in order.

Edit: There is no preventative measure that can be enacted. If Whitewell decides to provide every Dem precinct with one voting machine, there is nothing that can be done about it.

5. I helped make Ohio BLUE from overseas

It was the least I could do.

DEM TSUNAMI 11/7!!!
