Ohio Governor: GOP Is Trying to Scare Newly Registered Voters
-------------------------------------------------------------



In Ohio, Democratic Governor Ted Strickland has accused Ohio Republicans
of trying to scare newly registered voters by filing lawsuits that
question their eligibility. The Republican Party has filed numerous
legal challenges questioning the status of about 200,000 newly
registered voters in Ohio, warning about the potential for voter fraud.
Governor Strickland said, “In the last few days, the Republicans have
tried to instill fear in Ohio voters about whether their registrations
to vote will be challenged and whether they will be able to cast a
ballot.”
