Clark County Voters to be Monitored
2004-10-17
U.S. officials often monitor elections in foreign countries. This year Clark County voters likely will see election observers in their polling places.
NO, no! Do anything to me but don't make me go behind that curtain with Jimmah Catah.
Democrats and Republicans expect to use an obscure 51-year-old state law to place their representatives inside polling places across Ohio on Nov. 2. The observers — called challengers and witnesses — could ask voters about their identity or residency and will make sure election rules are followed. "There is no doubt in my mind they will be armed here," David Farrell, Clark County Democratic Party chairman, said. Republican chairman Dan Harkins said Democrats will have challengers in Clark County, and that's why Republicans must consider it, too. "It's like a game of chicken," he said.
Kofi and Jimmah are not likely to take this lying down either. This is in the triple dog dare area.
Clark County voters have been the focus of international attention during the presidential campaign. President Bush campaigned in Springfield once this year and Sen. John Kerry twice.

#1  The Clark County voters will each receive a complimentary discreet ankle monitor as they leave the precinct, plus a free copy of the special election issue of The Grauniad.
