It was Democrats who were challenged, not Republicans. You are not informed. These are going overwhelming Democrat.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

It was Democrats who were challenged, not Republicans.

I am curious where you have seen information on the party affiliation of the people who cast provisional ballots. Is this available from an authoritative source?

Also are you saying that there were people who showed up at the polls, had the proper ID, were on the voting list for the precinct, and that these people were still challenged and soley on the basis of the challenge, they cast provisional ballots?

FWIW after the election I saw an interview with Secretary Blackwell of Ohio who said that based on past experiences, most provisional ballots were cast by first-time voters and most would be accepted. This makes sense to me in that the wheels of bureacracy may not have gotten all newly-registered people on the printouts used at the precincts.

Yes, the Republicans were challenging people like no tommorrow, you apoligist.

Seems to me that Republican GOTV efforts were just as likely to have yielded a provisional ballot as Democratic Party efforts.  Wouldn't you think that many would be folks who hadn't voted in some years who had registration in question forcing the ballot to be a provisional one?

I think the Ohio Secretary of State website does not address the provisional ballot results at this time.  I don't think they have touched their results page since early election night.

Kerry won amoung people who hadn't voted in 2000.

Kerry won amoung people who hadn't voted in 2000.

I have it on good authority that he also won handily among ambidextrous voters who were born on a Thursday.

Kerry won people who hadn't voted before 54-46 here, wiseass

Even before the election the challenges were not particularly great.  Initially about 35,000 we challenged prior to the election 7,500 were withdrawn; these were due to Election Board errors.  Now that's not exactly a lot, when looking at the number of registered voters.  From what little I've heard, there were substantially less than 27,500 challenges on election day, where voters can legally be challenged.

Challenging a voter helps prevent fraud, and there seems to be very little fraud in OH this year, even though there were some reprts of people voting twice. 

Jfraud, you seem to be supporting voter fraud.

The Democrats didn't challenge *ANY* Republicans. Why do you support partisan challenging?
