Ok, we all saw it coming and now, here we go:
President George W. Bush late Friday asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate whether hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters in the battleground state of Ohio would have to verify the information on their voter registration forms or be given provisional ballots, an issue the U.S. Supreme Court weighed in on last week.
The unprecedented intervention by the White House less than two weeks before the presidential election may result in at least 200,000 voters in Ohio not being able to vote on Election Day. Information on the 200,000 voter registration forms does not match up exactly with information on government databases. Republicans are claiming that's evidence of voter registration fraud.
| Ohio is a critical state and disenfranchizing new voters, most of whom would likely vote Dem, could sway the state for McCain.
But here's another thought; the entire country, at least the sane majority of it, is fed up with the vile criminal Bush and his scumbag henchmen. It's not beyond possibility that this latest attempt at election-stealing could come back to haunt them.
Bush needs McCain to cement his legacy (hah!) and perhaps even to keep his sorry self from facing charges -- I want his slimy, lying ass at the Hague, answering for war crimes.
But would Ohio be enough? If what I'm reading is accurate, it might not be, so we can look for more Republican bullshit eleswhere.
