10,000 lucky coincidences.
The DNC has compiled a list of some of the 10,000 lucky concidences that occurred in Ohio during the 2004 "election". The list includes, but is not limited to, voter suppression; negligent and incompetent election officials; mistakes with registration status, polling locations, and absentee and provisional ballots; unlawful identification requirements; long lines; and uncounted votes, which, by happy coincidence(s), disproportunately disenfranchised younger voters and minorities.
And what did the Ohio General Assembly do while this document was being prepared? Why, they went home for their summer holiday. After all, it's not as if it's anything important; it's just a broken electoral system where the voting machine vendors openly bribe Evil Party government officials to get their vote-o-matics chosen to count the "vote".
I am particularly amused, in a sick sort of way, at the finding that «Voters were less likely to have their presidential vote counted in precincts with punch-card machines, precincts with fewer machines per voter, and precincts where the proportion voting for Kerry was higher.» Not, of course, that the Evil Party chairman of the committee to "elect" the Coward in Chief, who also happened to be Ohio's Secretary of State (and thus the person responsible for running the election) could have done anything to correct any of those problems.
Fair elections are, after all, a game for sissies, and the Evil Party is the party of Real Men™.
