The ballots were picked up by the Ann Arbor City Clerk’s office after her manager informed them, but Schiesser said she can only imagine how many ballot boxes are just waiting to be found.

I can imagine how they got there.........

I have been dead since 1985 and only got to vote twice...I was robbed! Robbed, I tell you!!! :-)

The RATS rely on this every year. Their playbook is so old it gets tiresome.

[MplsSteve]

The site had no ballot translated into Arabic?

What a bunch of BS!

Hey, I got a better idea...LEARN SOME ENGLISH!

Then you won't feel discriminated against!

[kipita]

This issue is like beating a fading speed horse on a muddy track.

[just me]

had language interpreters and provisional ballots on hand.

I think you should read and speak English before you are allowed to vote...

Just my opinion..

"One of them said, ‘You Oriental guys are taking too long to vote,’ ” she said. "

No one says anything when I eenie, meenie, miney, moe behind the curtain.

Fung said their exit polls of Asian Americans in eight states indicated widespread instances of voter discrimination, leaving many of the voters feeling disenfranchised.

They weren't actually disenfrachised; they just felt disenfranchised.

A polling site at Cleveland Middle School in Detroit suffered some of the same difficulties, as the site had no translated ballots for Arabic speakers and lacked any interpreters. Election officer Susie Johnson said she could only resort to explaining slowly to non-English speaking voters how to vote. “We just keep repeating what’s on the ballot until they understand,” she added. Many non-English speaking voters managed to submit the ballot, though, with their family members functioning as interpreters.

If the law allows only citizens and naturalized citizens to vote and if the law requires people seeking to become naturalized citizens to have a basic understanding of English, thenn why we are handing out bilingual ballots of any kind.

In an election already marred by provisional ballot challenges, numerous reports of voter discrimination from nonpartisan poll monitoring groups underline the possible flaws in the nation’s voting systems.

Words cannot describe my feelings, so...

Anyone who believes that the blacks in Detroit were intimidated by anyone hasn't walked through the streets of Detroit. There is some serious intimidation going on for sure but it isn't the blacks on the receiving end.

I have an old Ace Reid COWPOKES cartoon from the 1960's.
A reporter is interviewing a "bracero" and the bracero says,

"Si Senior. there is discrimination at the polls. I voted five times and the man only paid me for three."

In the background is a fat politician handing out cash to potential voters in line.

[shiva]

There they go again.

I worked at the polls on Tuesday. I suppose the Asian that took up about 40 minutes of our time felt intimidated too, no matter how much we tried to accomodate him. He lives in China, So. California and has a summer home here in No. California. He brought in a voter's guide from So. Calif. where he is evidently registered and demanded to vote here. We gave him a provisional ballot and a registration form. I suppose he will also pitch a fit when his ballot doesn't count. We had 4 or 5 difficult people that day. All were "immigrants" and simply couldn't understand the need to register to be able to vote.

“At this point, I don’t know if this had any effect on the election, but the process still needs to be fixed since it’s showing that it still can prevent people (from exercising) their vote,” Fung said.

Two words: Biometric implants.

[Ptarmigan]

Here we go again. I am Asian and I was never discriminated. The election went well for me. It was one of them electronic ballots.

[MissAmericanPie]

This is rediculous, if you come here and refuse to learn english, don't hold up the poll lines.

[Dog Gone]

If you're an informed voter with real opinions, you can vote. The name does not change.

If you can't tell the difference between John Kerry and George Bush on a ballot, then you have no business navigating the roads to the polling place.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Funny.

The ONLY specific and credible (and ACTUAL) case of fraud in the whole article was buried IN THE LAST LINE of the LAST PARAGRAPH ....

And it was proof of probable fraud BY democrats in Michigan.

Everything else was alleged comments of alleged nothing!

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm calling Bullshit on this one.

[Libertina]

"An election marred by complaints" HUH?

Must have been in a different country. These rats just cannot stop their devisiveness. But this time it's not going to work! Nice what an extra 4 million in popular votes can do to warm up your day! :)
