The Republicans in Ohio and several other states are trying to return us to the days of the poll tax. I'll bet that plenty of wealthy right-wing suburbanites are going to appoint themselves poll watchers in poor and minority districts again this year, as they've done in recent elections. Unless there are independent poll watchers in those neighborhoods this year, it's likely to get ugly. Rich reactionaries have controlled literally everything in this country for years, and they won't give up their dictatorship of the dollar easily.<br><br>Prediction -- it could get really ugly this time, not just words. I would advise some of those self-appointed "improvers" of minority and poor voters to go home this year after they vote, and console themselves, maybe with a fine 100-year old Cognac, for their inability to re-impose peonage this year.ElliottMon, 20 Oct 2008 10:47:51 -0000
