    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

    "challenges of eligibilty"?

    Who is challenging their eligibility? I mean... I want everyone to vote... provided they are eligible to vote... are you checking or just allowing ANYONE to vote? There are rules for eligibility...

    Let us know!

    It means he's going to be kneecapping anyone with a "Bush/Cheney 2004" bumpersticker, t-shirt, or pin in the parking lot before they can get to the voting booths.

    Except they can't wear campaign stuff in the polling place. So we'll have to ask questions, and shoot later, I guess.

    Lots of people have died to protect our right to vote - let's have it be the bad guys for a change.

    ALEXANDRIA, VA – Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates (FMA), a Republican polling and strategic consulting firm based in Alexandria, VA, has just completed their third likely voter survey with interviewsconducted ONLY in the remaining 12 battleground states.*

    In the three-way Presidential ballot, the race is dead tied in these crucial battleground states with BOTH President Bush and Sen. Kerry receiving 47% of the vote. Ralph Nader receives 1.6% while just 4% of the battleground state likely voters are undecided.

    However, as the data below illustrates, when the data is weighted to reflect minority turnout based on the 2000 exit polls, Sen. Kerry leads by 3.5% and if minority turnout is weighted to census levels Sen. Kerry’s lead expands to 5.2%.

    “It is clear that minority turnout is a wildcard in this race and represents a huge upside for Sen. Kerry and a considerable challenge for the President’s campaign. If one assumes minority turnout exceeds their 2000 election levels, then it appears a number of these states would tip to Sen. Kerry,” Fabrizio
    concluded.

    Hence, Republicans' efforts to make sure that as many of those minority voters stay outside of the polls as possible.

    By the way, as a lifelong Democrat, I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to the Party of Abraham Lincoln for their latest efforts in making sure that blacks and Hispanics will continue to be loyal Democratic voters for years to come.

    The only thing I ask of you is to remember this the next time you fret about why those ethnic groups continue to be so loyal to a party which "takes them for granted." Just remember, we may or may not be taking them for granted but we're definitely not trying to keep them from exercising their voting rights.
