...The latest sign that Republicans have an election-year strategy to shut down voter registration drives comes from Ohio. As the state gears up for a very competitive election season this fall, its secretary of state, J. Kenneth Blackwell, has put in place "emergency" regulations that could hit voter registration workers with criminal penalties for perfectly legitimate registration practices. The rules are so draconian they could shut down registration drives in Ohio....
...But there is one clear way that Ohio's election system is corrupt. Decisions about who can vote are being made by a candidate for governor. Mr. Blackwell should hand over responsibility for elections to a decision maker whose only loyalty is to the voters and the law.
Ohio is a shining example of Republican corruption. Congratulations, Republicans, for corrupting everything you touch!
Raw Story: Ohio's two Republican Senators DeWine and Voinovich wanted to bring the ban on gay marriage to a vote. DeWine and Voinovich must feel like their being attacked by gays so much so that they would waste valuable time to vote on this Republican political ploy. Shame on DeWine and Voinovich! Don't they know there are more pressing issues in this country than banning gay marriage???? For heaven's sake, Ohio has lost 110 young men and women in Iraq. Why aren't they debating the reason for the war? What about doing something for the gulf coast? How about those Ohio jobs we don't have? Why aren't they talking about rising college tuition?
