<b>2004 elections</b>
Everyone must have read the news - it made international headlines - that in some places in the US, African-Americans (more likely to vote Democrat, based on past voting patterns) were told that they were to vote on another day. Even though many African-Americans are christians, they are ever the untermensch in the christo-paradise of America.
Similarly, people voting for Democrats were told they had to vote on a separate day. Excerpts from various papers and articles follow:

Flyers were sent to black voters telling them the election was two days after the actual date, Shelton charged.
"We were told that if you were for one party, you would vote on one day, on November 2, but if you were the member of another party -- a party that over 88 percent of African Americans supported in this last election -- your day to vote was two days later," Shelton said.
"And indeed people came out to vote two days later and found out they could not cast that vote because of the kind of trickery that [they] were still experiencing," he added. "The trickery has become much more insidious than ever before."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->(2) http://www.freepress.org/departments/dis...9/2004/834

<b>Basic report from Columbus</b>

I worked for 3 days, including Election Day, on the statewide voter protection hotline run by the Ohio Democratic Party in Columbus, Ohio.
I am writing this because the media is inexplicably whitewashing what happened in Ohio, and Kerry's concession was likewise inexplicable.
Hundreds of thousands of people were disenfranchised in Ohio. People waited on line for as long as 10 hours. It appears to have only happened in Democratic-leaning precincts, principally (a) precincts where many African Americans lived, and (b) precincts near colleges.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->(3) http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0410/S00308.htm AND http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/ne...956129.stm

Washington, DC, Oct. 27 (UPI) â A British Broadcasting Corporation report has unleashed a political storm over suggestions that the Bush campaign in Florida may be planning to disrupt voting in the stateâs black neighborhoods.
Democrats have expressed outrage over the BBC report, while Republicans are heatedly challenging its accuracy.
[...]
However, the controversy around the Jacksonville list is far from the only allegation of attempts by GOP campaign officials to suppress or discourage African-American voter turnout.
In Ohio, where around 400,000 new voters in generally Democratic areas have been added to the polls this year, Republicans have deployed a high proportion of their 3,600 polling monitors in predominantly black areas such as inner-city Cleveland.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->(5) http://www.tompaine.com/articles/kerry_won_.php

'Election Fraud in America'
Compares the American situation with elections in Ukraine and Venezuela which the US had denounced as fraudulent.
And now comes dubious Dubya's dumb conclusion:
