"Ohio Judge Limits Voter Challengers A Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas judge has issued a permanent injunction limiting the number of challengers at each polling place. A press release from the Lawyers Committee of Civil Rights, which brought the lawsuit, states: Ohio State Court Judge John P. O’Donnell entered a permanent statewide injunction today barring multiple challengers from polling places on Election Day. The Court ordered Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell to rescind an earlier directive, which would have allowed each party from a precinct to send a challenger to the polling place. The Court’s order is permanent and applies to all counties in Ohio. At this time, it is not known whether the Secretary of State will appeal the Court’s Order. The suit was brought by voters in Cuyahoga County, who were concerned that the placement of large numbers of challengers in heavily minority precincts would be used to discourage voters from casting their ballots, particularly African Americans. - posted by Dan Tokaji @ 11:22 PM" Cueball, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights had to come all the way from the SF Bay Area to make sure this thing go correctly straightened out.

<<Politics always has been, and always will be, about race. You can see that 50+ years of attempted arbitrary enlightenment in America has resulted in nothing but a captive dependent class bred solely to fabricate Democrat votes.>> While the majority of Blacks are Democrats, I am amazed at how many blacks are outspoken supporters of Bush. Unfortunately, too many blacks follow obvious opportunists like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, or the more violent leaders, as in the black moslem groups.
