1. I am glad this is making it to the corporate media outlets --

The fact that she has put her reputation, her career, and more on the line for democracy is why she received a "Profiles in Courage" award this past year...

A series of voting irregularities in several major Ohio counties that use electronic voting systems led newly elected Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to order that paper ballots be provided to any voter who requested one during the state’s March 2008 presidential primary. Furthermore, after a study of the state’s new electronic voting systems – just two years old and representing millions in public investment – found that the systems made by several major voting machine manufacturers could be compromised, Brunner called for the replacement of all of the state’s electronic voting systems with paper ballots and optical scan technology before the November 2008 presidential election. Brunner’s proposal brought pointed and persistent criticism from partisans around the state; opponents of the move objected to the cost and questioned the necessity of returning to paper ballots. For her political courage and her commitment to ensuring the enfranchisement of every Ohio citizen, Jennifer Brunner is honored with the 2008 Profile in Courage Award.

2. What is wrong with republicans?

What is wrong with the way they look at the world that they think certain people shouldn't be allowed to vote?

Just a way to trim lists of voters. Thats called Illegal voter suppression.

4. WHY? Covering up 2004!

Inoculating the base against their own crimes by accusing the opposition of doing what they do! Old Trick, Same Pile of Horse Pucky!

5. McCain and Palin are responsible for stirring up this hatred. Powell was right when

he said it needs to be stopped. There's been vandalism in Minnesota, KKK and dead raccoons, this, and I'm sure other incidents I haven't heard about.

They are playing a dangerous game appealing to fear and hatred with their speeches and phone calls.
