Listening to 610WTVN in Columbus, OH they had a group CAIR (I think that was the name) that did a survey of Muslims from exit polling. Central Ohio has a fairly high population of gays,Somalians, & Muslims.

175 Muslims surveyed from exit polls. Results:

95% Kerry
3% Bush
2% Other

(Not that this matters much --just interesting who the Muslims are favoring in a LARGE way).

610WTVN is reporting very short waits (20-30 min) to vote in the Suburbs even after the work is out, so that is good news I guess. Also on the local news here was Deer Run Elementary School (where I went to school, but now vote in a different precinct) and there was some big deal because a guy parked his car with a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on it real close to the "100 ft." mark outside the school, and the democrats cried bloody murder. They actually showed it on TV with a measuring tape, and people were measuring from all kinds of different angles trying to determine if it was legal, it was ridiculous!

Is anyone surprised by this? No thanks for the fact that Pres Bush freed 50 mil Muslims from tyranny.

Update from 610WTVN: A guy went to vote in Clintonville (Columbus) and several people have reported the same thing. Moveon.org was present, and they had some "lists" of people (probably registered democrats/Kerry voters) and as each person finished voting, the moveon.org people would come up to them and ask what their name was (none of their business really)...It reportedly got heated a couple of times, as people were being badgered for their names by Moveon.org workers. Anyway, their "goal" was to check people off their democratic lists who had already voted, and their plan was once it reached a certain time of day to go to people's homes/work for people who hadnt voted and round them up to get them to vote.

There are all kinds of interesting stories people are telling if you are interested here is the link (have to register) www.610wtvn.com

(Most of the disturbances have been in the city---Seems like this is where the media, lawyers, & moveon.org flocks, and they are just looking to cause trouble.)

sounds like voter harassment to me..... wonder what the final reporting of the incidents will be?

OMGoodness! Do you remember Spook Beckman - drive time; John (forget his last name early morning)

Not surprising 610 is doing this. Did not realize Columbus had such a large (?) Muslim community -- OSU contributed I'd guess.

Idiot sons in Columbus -- both registered -- neither voted, nor do they, or their wives, intend to vote. Will speak with them again in about 15 minutes and if they did not vote that's it for them. Have appt. with attorney Friday afternoon and they will be very sad when my will is read. Not joking. They were raised better than that.

Ok Lady,

Its hard to tell, there is so much crap going on here in the inner city. The only reason that stuff is going on (in my opinion) is because that's where the fringe "voter protection" groups are hanging out and that causes the media to therefore show up, then longer lines from this and all the new registrants which werent expected causing not enough booths. Then from the "voter protection" groups acting up, it causes uproar. You dont hear of any real problems in the outlying areas. Everything is goes pretty much perfectly smooth there. The only problem I heard from a suburb, was a 21 year old kid, and when he was getting his driver's license renewed he registered to vote for the first time. Apparently, it wasnt processed correctly, because he never received confirmation in the mail & wasnt shown as registered on the Internet, so when he showed up to vote today, he wasnt on the list of registered voters. He was allowed to cast a provisional ballot. They went and checked the list on the internet, he was not there, so they immediately went to the log from the BMV, verified he was in that day, and cross referenced that he had completed the registration to vote. The kid called the Secretary Of State's office (kid said they were very helpful and nice), and it was cleared up, and they said they would review his provisional ballot and make sure it gets counted. My conclusion from this is: If there is a legitimate error/concern it WILL get taken care of. Lots of other stuff is just trumped up.

--Other potential problems reported in Central Ohio-- Some areas have experienced large growth recently to go along with many many new registered voters, and the number of voting booths in some areas are well less than is needed. Most precincts will be ok, but reports are certain one's will have waits past 9:00-10:00 in certain areas (voting closes in Ohio at 7:30, but people waiting in line at 7:30 are going to be able to vote--supposedly).

Not telling them anything. They can dig their own grave. Just hope I can see their reaction from 'above'. Just spoke with both of them, neither changed their minds. I was not kidding about my Friday appt.
