Yahoo! News - Legal Battle for Presidency Underway
Topic: Politics and Law 2:08 pm EDT, Oct 20, 2004

] The parties are also fighting over "provisional ballots"
] given to people who show up at the polls and do not find
] their names on voter rolls. The Help America Vote Act
] passed by Congress in 2002 required that those ballots be
] counted if it can be determined after Election Day that
] the voters were eligible.
]
]
] A number of Republican election chiefs have decided that
] those ballots should be counted only if they are cast in
] the voters' proper precincts. Democrats, who contend that
] provisional ballots will be used mainly by poor and
] minority voters who tend to move a lot, have sued in
] several states. Some federal courts have upheld those
] rules, but others, including one in Michigan yesterday,
] have sided with the Democrats in ruling that the
] provisional ballots should be counted regardless of where
] they are cast.

Yep, this is America, supposed to be the shining beacon of democracy. Amazing that it looks like we'll do just about anything to screw someone out of a vote because winning is more important. And we're supposed to be showing other countries how to do this?
