Petition against Ohio trashing voter registration forms on light paper.

http://static.act04.org/act/paperstock.htm

Citing an arcane ruling requiring voter registration cards be printed on 80 pound paper stock, Blackwell is threatening to void registrations submitted on any other paper, demanding these registrants re-apply. But there is no time to reapply which could leave thousands of new voters off the rolls.

Tens of thousands of Ohioans have registered online or with registration forms printed in newspapers, copied by friends, community activists, and even state offices. These are valid applications that must be processed immediately.

Blackwell is also trying to impose strict rules on provisional ballots. In 2000, nearly 23,000 provisional ballots were cast in Cuyahoga County alone (the greater Cleveland area). Due to congressional redistricting after the 2000 census and the swell of first-time voters, confusion on Election Day will run high. Provisional ballots must be made available in accordance with the federal Help America Vote Act.

Sign the petition to stop Ken Blackwell's latest dirty tricks.

In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act granting every American citizen the right to vote. Blackwell himself has been quoted as saying "voting preserves the freedom that we Americans cherish."

Don't sit back and let Ken Blackwell take us back to the days of selective voting rights. Sign the petition today.

and people wonder how the gop has ascended to power.

petitions are very nice, very civil, but bodies in the streets when votes are stolen are more effective.

what the hell is wrong with having the ohio state democratic party send in hundreds of vocal protesters to blackwell's office building and chanting about they will not let another florida happen again.

al capone wore silk suits just like george bush. both acted like gangsters.
