The leader of the Democratic National Committee announced Monday that he will start an investigation into voting irregularities in Ohio, where lines snaked outside some inner-city polling places on election day and provisional ballots were sometimes in short supply.
Terry McAuliffe, chairman of the DNC, said the aim of "this comprehensive study is not to contest the results of the 2004 election, but to help ensure that every eligible vote cast is truly counted."
McAuliffe made his announcement on the same day that Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell certified the state's final presidential election results, declaring President Bush the winner over Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., by almost 119,000 votes, or about 51 percent to 49 percent.
The certified result narrowed the 136,000-vote margin credited to Bush shortly after election day but was not close enough to trigger an automatic recount. Still, largely Democratic activists and lawyers have raised numerous questions about the Ohio vote, particularly in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, where black voters reportedly faced long lines and voting machines that failed to work.

Uh oh, the fox is investigating the hen house!
"this comprehensive study is not to contest the results of the 2004 election, but to help ensure that every eligible vote cast is truly counted."
That must also mean the dead constituency votes must be counted also. I truly believe this guy doesn't understand what a provisional ballot is. (Al Gore, another fine mess you've gotten us into!).
I think McAuliffe's head is blocking part of the sign, I think it reads air head.
Um, it's over moonbats. Go back to your caves.
LOL. Ah, Dems. There are none so blind...
The Democrats are the party of Moonbats, and dingbats.
funny how they dont mention how the lines were 3 hours long OUTSIDE of the inner city districts at all.
frikin DNC...what a joke....
I wonder what McAuliffe would say if the Republicans agreed to a recount and stipulated that the entire list of registered voters in Cuyahoga County be compared to the list of those who voted.
Gotta love the Dems. They can't stop themselves from implying that the election was "stolen" when what is really the case is that, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't drum up enough votes from dead people and multiple voters to steal the election themselves.
LOL. And Meatheads :)
It's scary to see how obsessed they are with votes exceeding 100,000. I would dread the thought if it was closer.
"We can't expect people to come out and do a record vote turnout again if they don't feel we're protecting their vote," DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe said in a conference call Monday. He said the investigation -- looking at the long lines, how provisional ballots were handled and the activities of the Secretary of State's office -- would take months.

Think it is time for Repubs to hit back with the same. Investigate the 'blue' states; 'blue' counties; where the Demrats won. Challenge the results and begin recounts.
Or. . .at least offer the possibilities and imply that these 'winners' may be really losers; after all.
You mean you want to Disenfranchise the Democrats Dead Voters?
This is no joke. Their long-term strategy is to codify Democratic Voter Fraud into law by making sure:
1. NO observers are permitted in heavily dem precincts.
2. NO dem "voters" are ever challenged.
3. NO standards of voter id or voter verification are appled to dem voters.
This is serious stuff. They are playing a political/legal chess-game with democracy in America, and we all stand to be the checkmated losers.
This is the biggest issue of the 21st century. The RATS are trying to set institutions in place that will allow them to rig elections.
Democrat rank and file = saps...
