"Ohio was the epicenter of controversy during the 2004 elections, as Democrats charged voter fraud incidents disproportionately helped Republicans."

It would seem to me if Ohio has had issues before (and it has), then those in control of the technical side would be hard-pressed to make this round of elections less problematic.....fraud repetitively showing up in the same areas smells......

1st off the source for this is highly dubious. This is an accusation with NO factual confirmation from a Democrat activist "civil rights group"

Plus by sabotaging a few carefully selected polling places in Democrat safe districts the Democrats have grounds to challenge election out comes ANY where in the state.

It pure dirty tricks politics, IF it is true.

Ohio's problem polling places try to get it right in '06

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A polling place in Cleveland that opened six hours late in May is up and running today.

The Garden Valley Neighborhood House was the epicenter of a disastrous primary for the state's most populous county. All but one poll worker didn't show up, voting machines didn't immediately work and several voters were turned away.

Today, hot cocoa, steaming coffee and pastries greeting voters who were able to cast ballots on the touch-screen machines at about ten minutes after polls were scheduled to open.

The Cuyahoga County elections board has spent the last five months giving poll workers extra training and fixing several of the primary problems.
