1. widespread systematic illegal dirty tricks in many states in 2004 by Repub operatives
There were widespread, systematic, illegal dirty tricks in minority areas of many counties of many states in 2004
carried out by Repub operatives to confuse minorities about their proper polling place,
and in conjuction with widespread late changes in minority polling places and new promulgations that those who vote in the wrong precinct don't get their vote counted; there was a huge conspiracy by partisan election officials and party operatives to cost hundreds of thousands of minorities their vote.
Also widespread illegal purges of legal minority voters.
Similarly allocation of too few voting machines and machines that were inoperable to minority precincts resulted in
offical low turnouts, even though the precincts had extremely long lines. That is, the problem was official malfeasance, not voter apathy. This made huge impacts in Florida and Ohio, but also in other states.
