I was in Ohio monitoring the election with the Democratic Party in Lima. There are reports of numerous incidents of intimidation and irregularities by Republican challengers, especially in minority neighborhoods. This has scared people from voting.
Look, one thing is clear: the Republicans pulled out all the stops in Ohio to keep minorities and other Democratic voters from voting. We need to fight fire with fire.
Kerry needs to push the Republican intimidation of minority voters. It's not just enough to count the provisional ballots. Because of Rethug tactics, a bunch of minority voters couldn't vote.
WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT?
We caved in Florida. We can't do it here. Fight the Rethugs with everything you got. And Kerry and the Democrats need to push the intimidation story 100%. Because it's real. I was there.
IT'S NOT THE PROVISIONALS. IT'S INTIMIDATION OF MINORITIES! THAT'S THE STORY WE HAVE TO PUSH.
