Hi
Got this today from the caseohio group. these two maps really help bring home visually of where the long lines were, gives percentages of blacks etc.. it correlates and possibly confirms that there was real voter supression. look at the heaviest blackprecincts. and who reported long lines? mostly all black precincts, maybe one bush pct.  I think this should go to the black caucus etc.. what do you think? If the party fails to act then its betrayl of the black vote. we cannot allow our african-american brothers and sisters to be treated in this. Im sending this to kerry, dean, and whoever else may be of use....

Here are a couple of charts showing how the distribution of voting problems
(machine problems and long lines) reported to voteprotect.org tends to
concentrate in black areas of Franklin and Cuyahoga Counties:

Certainly could help use visually back up our allegations of intimidation!
