Three voter fraud cases in Ohio

This is an interesting article discussing the various circumstances under which voted ballots are thrown out. There were surprisingly few ballots thrown out given all the hype before the election. The article also talks about three cases of actual voter fraud in which an non-U.S. citizen voted and two individuals voted in two counties.

Many areas are already exceeding 50% of the 2004 voting numbers. I've voted. I hope you all have as well.

The following is an interesting article about the Voting Rights Act and the history of the fourteenth and fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. It is a good summary of the history we have been studying in class with some additional cases we didn't discuss. Let me know what you think.
