Progressive Minds

So, another thought has just occured to me regarding Ann Coulter's possibly being in legal jeopardy for voting in the wrong precint this year.

In the 2004 Presidential election, Republicans sent "vote challengers" to the battleground state of Ohio.  Vote challengers who would simply walk up to someone in a precint and say "I don't think you are eligible to vote."

Not surprisingly, the Republicans sent their vote challengers to predominantly African-American and urban precints in Ohio, in what can only be described as shades of Jim Crow.

How ironic is it, that they sent vote challengers to African-American precints in Ohio (surely to help supress the African-American vote that they knew would turn out in full force), when members of their own party (i.e. Ann Coulter) don't even bother following the law and voting in the proper precint?

It was a poll worker who questioned Ann Coulter on that fateful day, not a vote challenger.

P.S.---Some required reading and education for our Repug friends not in the reality-based commuity:
