Justice Department Pressed by Bush to Contest 200,000 Ohio Voters
-----------------------------------------------------------------



The White House is intervening in an election dispute in the state of
Ohio. The White House has asked the Department of Justice to look into
whether 200,000 new Ohio voters must reconfirm their registration
information before the Nov. 4 election because their records don’t
precisely match other government databases. Last week, the US Supreme
Court dismissed a case brought by the Ohio Republican Party over the
issue.
