Scary Election Article

This is a very disturbing article, which includes one member of the Bush campaign (formerly now, I assume) publically saying, 'If we don't suppress the Detroit vote, we're going to have a tough time this election.' 83% of the voters in Detroit are African-American.

I'm starting to think if Bush wins, there is going to be complete outrage among the minority groups and others, especially with the potential mess in Ohio, where the Republicans appear to be racially profiling the polling places they're sending challengers to. I'm not saying Kerry and the Democrats are saints, but this is very troubling to see on election day, when we're supposed to be the greatest democracy on earth.

What about the suppresion in Milwaukee where 30 republican vans had their tires slashed?

those were not voter's vans...they were volunteers who were gonna go out and look for people to get them to vote...

that's still very bad if it's true, but it's not the same as stopping someone from voting

if someone is slashing voters' tires, putting up road blocks (no! never!), etc...then

Like I implied in my original post, the Democrats have just as many miscreants among them as the Republicans do. Trying to suppress citizens of a certain race in our country from voting, however, is a hell of a lot more serious than a few tires being slashed. It's not even comparable. Can you see why?
