Brad, as always, you're 10 steps ahead of these jokers.
I saw something on Daily Kos today, but no full diary yet about the Ohio Supreme Court dismissing the second case against the Ohio SoS. Do you have any news on that?

You must be proud that your crappy little Blog got the number one spot on Google news. All you had to do was spew lies about the McCain campaign and the Kool Aid sucking owners of Google jet you up to the number one spot.
ACORN is committing fraud, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Close your eyes and vote for your Messiah as we hurl ourselves into 4 years of socialism. Congratulations idiots.

@ #2:
I know it's hard to admit but you and the repubs are nothing more than a bunch of lying idiots. If you had any brains at all you would realize that you are on the wrong side of the facts and history. You have no proof, no evidence, no class, and no self respect.
BTW, if you had any clue you would realize that this two largest example of socialism since the early 1960s happened under republican rule: the awful, over priced medicare drug act and the recent financial bailout and the nationalization of our banks.
Get a clue moron!

Those are editorials, one from a guy that is an actor part time. Why don't you Democrats want voter registration fraud and voter fraud investigated?
You've completely gone off the deep end.

Again
I have a friend – a rock-ribbed Republican who would not vote for a Democrat to win a bet, but who refuses to vote for McCain. Why? “Because he’s a lousy pilot.” (My friend was a career Navy Pilot, who flew everything the Navy had to offer.) “The only thing he has going for him is five years as a POW, as he reminds us every five minutes. He’d never have been a POW if he hadn’t been a lousy pilot. And if, after all the training he got, he couldn’t even fly an aircraft, how can I expect him to be able to manage the Nation? Look. He’s smart enough to have been in the top ten at the Academy instead of the bottom five. He was too interested in partying to study, and he should never have been accepted for flight training. He obviously paid little attention to that, either; he has always done just enough to get by – and in Wartime, that’s not enough, nor is it enough to run the most important country in the world!”
“So who are you going to vote for?”
“Probably nobody. I can’t vote for Nader, and Barr isn’t all that great. I WISH the party had nominated Paul – I could support him in a heartbeat!”
Interesting. He didn’t even mention McC’s somewhat checkered career or doubtful associates; he opposes him strictly on the grounds of ability – possibly something we all should do.

Dear Karen,
I saw it with my own eyes: The Bush and GOP machine stole the 2000 election and the presidency in Florida (not to mention Ohio in 2004) and the results have been catastrophic for our nation and the world.
Don't take my word for it - read the dissent of Supreme Court Justices Stevens, Breyer and Ginsberg in the absurd legal decision of Bush v. Gore: "Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's Presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the Nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law."
Back in 2000, in Florida, I witnessed the votes of World War II veterans thrown away and GOP thugs bully the Miami Dade elections office into stopping a recount. I swore to myself that never again would the votes of Americans be thrown away and replaced by the votes of appointed judges. Following the 2000 election, I spent 7 years fighting to remove the DIEBOLD electronic machines from Florida and to install a voter verified paper trail which we accomplished last year.
I have bad news: They are trying again to silence our votes.
Most people associate the 2000 election with paper "chads" and the Supreme Court's tragic decision. Yet the voter suppression in 2000 went way beyond not counting votes – from illegal roadblocks near minority precincts to the complete purging of legitimate voters from the rolls through what is called "voter caging "– the practice of using databases to improperly delete voters.
Now, we are seeing signs of voter caging again in both Michigan and Florida.
In Michigan, the state is using a list of foreclosures to purge voters (many of which are still legitimate voters in their districts).
In Florida, my home state, the Republican led Supervisor of Elections is aggressively applying a new law designed to limit voter fraud by summarily deleting voters who might have – as part of a clerical error – a different driver's license or social security number than was put in the database.
If legitimate, legal voters are denied access to the voting booth – we risk a repeat of 2000, in multiple states.
We must remain vigilant, not just in defense of our economy, but in defense of our rights as Americans.
I am working with my colleagues in Congress to call attention to this matter, but I encourage you to contact your state elections supervisor and demand that they allow every person who claims to be a legitimate voter to submit a provisional ballot.
There is a system in every state to deal with provisional ballots – to verify their legitimacy after the fact.
Voter caging is a threat to our (already challenged) democratic principals. Please join me and pass this email along to spread the word.
If you have not already signed up at www.wexlerforcongress.com, and would like to be on this list, please sign up today.
Sincerely,
Congressman Robert Wexler

For gods sake, who in their right mind would ANYONE EVER put a computer system together without an audit trail?? That is pre security 101! Its security kindergarten!!!. I was aghast last time through, and nothing has been learned. I have been an information systems professional since 1984, so I know from whence I speak. I don't think its illegal (yet) to take your cell phone with you to the voting booth - take a picture of the screen as you have voted - its not much, but it IS an audit trail of your vote at least. "Voter fraud??? when the Computer you are voting on violates the most basic tennet of security??? puh-leeze! Semper Vigilance people!!!

Damn Brad, when you dig you REALLY dig!
ANY, I repeat ANY rumor of GOP vote fraud is reported by your side as fact.
Strong evidence of voter fraud by ACORN... the ONLY proof you require that this is untrue is a denial by an ACORN staffer. And a opinion piece from a left wing website.
Your website is a nice idea. However, ignoring this issue is acceptance which makes you no better than anyone whom you report about. In fact, it makes you worse because you are supposed to be a champion of the integrity of the vote when in fact you are not. You are a champion of the leftwing vote.
Bye bye credibility.
