Dem voter reg. up 250% in OH and 60% in FL, they are not swing states
anyway, compared to 25% republican registration and 12% voter registration in FL.

So when they try to steal it remember this article:

1. I think I can speak for Ohio Dems
we are a little pissed off, and we channeled that anger into volunteering and activism.

Look at that, they already are planning to steal it, by saying people didn't use the right paper to register.

5. And The Repub Sec'y of State Rejects All the Dem Regs Just Before Deadline
So there's no way they can be resubmitted in time.

So much for all our hard work in Ohio.

11. No way.
Just wait and see. There is no way in hell some partisan asshole is going to disenfranchise thousands of voters with the stroke of a pen. If he insists, he'll end up in court and he'll lose.

9. Oh Good Lord...
Doesn't a "law" like this fall under the same rationale as the Grandfather Clause? Sheesh! Just about any state supreme court in the union would strike this down under close scrutiny. In fact, even the U.S. Supremes would strike it down for no other reason than not wanting to appear partisan after the 2000 debacle...

7. Under the radar
Thats exactly right. I know people on the ground here that have signed up lots of new Dem voters, myself included.

We will win Ohio huge. Thats a guaruntee. Ohio and Fla are ours. This contest is over Kerry wins big.

10. Nailed it.
"I think what's happening on the streets, below the radar, is what's going to make the big difference on election day," said Steve Rosenthal of the pro-Democrat Americans Coming Together.
