Ooops.....so much for the "suppress the vote scheme" bs..... Kerry's whining is just more of the same old blatant Democrat lies! I told you so.....wussy boy...... GWB won fair and square....first NH, then FL and now Ohio.......you whiners and bile spewers better wake up and smell the coffee....... cleveland.com More From The Plain Dealer Delays at polls weren't a scheme Voting machines distributed evenly Monday, January 17, 2005 Mark Naymik Plain Dealer Politics Writer When they stood on the floor of Congress recently to protest the results of Ohio's presidential vote, Democrats told a national audience about their suspicious hunch: People in Democratic strongholds were short-changed on voting machines on Election Day. Voter groups and activists have lobbed the same accusation for weeks. Long lines in urban areas, such as Cleveland, kept John Kerry supporters from voting, they say. But a Plain Dealer analysis shows that, in Cuyahoga County at least, the elections board distributed machines equally to city and suburban polling locations. The long lines at some locations appear to be more the result of timing, new voters and overwhelmed poll workers, not necessarily a shortage of machines. Before the Nov. 2 election, the elections board allotted each Cleveland precinct one machine for every 117 registered voters within its boundaries - the same ratio of machines that suburban precincts received. In other words, the more registered voters a particular precinct had, the more machines it received, regardless of where that precinct was. And in the end, the busiest precincts - when measured by the number of ballots cast per machine - were actually in the suburbs, not Cleveland, according to a Plain Dealer analysis of records from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. ................
