Apparently, the Republicans can't program computers correctly! Making their lawsuit, um, frivolous, eh?

State Republicans withdrew thousands of more than 35,000 challenges to new voter registrations because of errors in their filings apparently caused by a computer glitch.

Republicans filed the challenges Friday in 65 of Ohio's 88 counties, saying mail sent to the newly registered voters was returned as undeliverable.

Over the weekend, the party withdrew about 4,700 challenges in Hamilton County because the names and addresses on the GOP list didn't match voter rolls, and about two-thirds, or 2,800, of the 4,200 challenges in Franklin County, officials said.

It's too late to file a new challenge under the statute the party used, John Williams, election director in Hamilton County, said Monday. There appeared to be an error in the database program used to print the challenges, so that addresses weren't matched with the correct names, he said.

But the largest single batch of challenges, some 17,000 in Cuyahoga County, is still being processed because there were no errors, said Jane Platten, elections board spokeswoman.

Of course, since the suppliers and the testers of the computerized voting systems are also Republicans, my confidence in the process is still not complete....

And see? Stand up to them, and they back off. Now, what are the odds of the 17,000 in Cuyahoga being legitimate too? I would say quite high, since the obvious intent of the Republicans si to disenfranchise and intimidate voters, not to avoid fraud.
