Republicans To Harass Ohio Votes INSIDE Polling Places TThe Republican Party has announced plans to place thousands of election challengers in Ohio polling places next week. It says it is only trying to prevent fraud. But there is a real danger that these challengers could be used to block eligible voters from casting their ballots or, just as bad, to drastically slow down voting in some parts of the state.

Open letter of sorts to Americans from an Iraqi about US elections So elections are being held in America. We’re watching curiously here.
