Were there problems in Ohio? Sure. There were long lines, particularly at polling areas where blacks voted, but it was discovered that was due to the unexpectedly high black voter turnout, and not any effort at "disenfranchisement." The Democrats in Ohio have now acknowledged that no voting fraud took place, at least by the Republicans.

Strangely enough, the NY Times has a piece on this too, as well as the Washinton times. For some odd reason 😉 both the Washington Post and the NYT omit the following observation:

How ironic.In a stinging reply to the report, Mr. Mehlman agreed that there were numerous election abuses that took place in Ohio last year, but said they were perpetrated by Democrats or their political allies. In one instance, he said, "Democrat allies attempted to disenfranchise Ohio voters by submitting registration cards for Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Michael Jordan."
In March, a group of Ohio election law attorneys conducted a review of the state's election for the House Committee on Administration. It found, among other things, that "thousands of false and fraudulent voter-registration cards had been discovered and became the subject of numerous investigations by boards of elections, actions by local law enforcement and many media reports."
"Overwhelmingly," this report said, "these problems were reportedly traced primarily" to four Democratic political allies who supported Mr. Kerry: ACORN, America Coming Together, the AFL-CIO and the NAACP National Voter Fund.
