A federal judge ruled against Florida governor Jeb Bush and struck down a Florida law that imposes hefty fines on third parties that take too long to submit voter registration forms, saying it threatens free speech rights and unfairly exempts political parties. As reported by the Brennan Center this ruling may affect similar laws in Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico and Georgia. / It appears that Franklin Co. Ohio intends on putting all voting files on line so anyone who wants can download all of the ballots and audit the election themselves. Of course, this is probably subject to change if they find that their ES&S machines had problems and it will happen following all audits and election certification. …

Jeb bu$$h has about another 100 ways up his sleeve to disenfranchise Demo voters,.. come November 2006 he will just put those plans into action.
They will stop the counting of Demo votes come hell or high water. They can not win elections honestly,. they will enact some sort of plan of fraud to steal the election. The fascists will not surrender the control they have over our government,.. they must rapidly dismantle and destroy democracy to perpetuate their Nazi corporatist ways.
Oldturk — I fear you are right. I just posted a reply to the last article about the court ruling today: The United States is not a Democracy. I think they know they can’t win a fair vote now so they are pulling out all the stops.
