COLUMBUS---With a major GOP federal court victory, the Ohio 2006 election has descended into the calculated chaos that has become the trademark of a Karl Rove election theft, and that could help keep the Congress in Republican hands nationwide.

Through a complex series of legal maneuvers, and now a shocking new decision from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the GOP has thrown Ohio's entire process of voting and vote counting into serious disarray. The mess is perfectly designed to suppress voter turnout, make election monitoring and a recount impossible, and allow the Republican Party to emerge with a victory despite overwhelming evidence the electorate wants exactly the opposite.

The disaster in Ohio began immediately after the theft of the presidential election here in 2004.

2. Again like Florida, Ohio is the weakest link........

why else would Rove and the Rethugs spend so much time on causing confusion and changing voting rules to benefit Republicans.

3. Fitrakis and Wasserman are the oracles of the coming legal morass

for which we need to be prepared.

4. It is way past time...

5. post 2000 should have been the wake up call to the Dems, then the '02

(especially Max Clelland) but '04 was inexcusable. I agree these crooks have no intention of handing over power or even SUBPOENA power. There had better NOT be quick concessions this time or it will be the end of the Dem Party, IMHO.
