Voter Suppression in Ohio

[giza]

This post in Daily Kos documents some of the problems currently going on in Ohio. Essentially, some of the more Democratic polling sites have been left with machines that do not function. Repeated calls to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections did not help; they kept promising that help was "5-10 minutes away", but that clearly wasn't the case. In fact, even the board-issued cell phone did not work.

Do your part and send things like this into media newsrooms across virginia. It works.

newsroom@nbc12.com, that's where I work. http://www.wtvr.com/, and http://www.wric.com/

We've already got a movement here in Virginia to send people with cameras to polling places and document if any wrongdoings are happening.

That is some heavy harassment there--the recipient of that phone message could easily sue over that.
