Where will the first "voter riot" be?
that is when a large enough group of people that have been illegally purged from the voter rolls and/or 'challenged' by a neocon thug and tried to be prevented from voting, a large enough group that hits critical mass and says "like hell!"

3. Ohio or Florida would be my guess
Because you know republicans will actively try to stop African Americans from voting in those states.

4. I'm curious if there are going to be any fist fights
at polling places when people are robbed of their votes.

5. OH and FL, possibly MI.
Then again, I think that the neo-cons may dispatch thugs to challenge these voters also, much like they did in the 2000 recount.

7. OH & FL are so "4 - 8" years ago. ;) I'm betting on...
Either VA or PA. That's where we move the challanges. If we have a reapeat in FL or OH, it looks like they didn't learn their lesson.. they have to move this problem around the country so no one notices a pattern..

8. Cuyahauga county Ohio
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 07:44 AM by Boz
I just looked at the http://www.projectvote2008.org/ site and having been born and raised in Cleveland but transplanted to califonia, I know that the Cuyahauga list represents a DIRECT purge of African Americans, even in predominantly non AA neighborhoods African Americans were almost exclusively excluded on that list and Im sure there is more going on there.

Cleveland for many means and purposes is an economic ghosttown and a powder keg at the center of this elections principal questions in the heart of the rust belt disaster zone.

And with the recent death of Stepanie Tubbs Jones the steam release in the fom of her voice working for many of those disenfranchised is now gone, no money, no voice, no say and no vote.

It will be the first to go.
