...matter who wins this election, the results tonight—if there are any—will be accompanied by an unfortunate asterisk. Nationwide, from Florida to Ohio, from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin, battleground states are emerging literally as battlegrounds—not only in terms of the struggle to persuade the handful of undecideds, but also in terms of the concerted, underhanded strategy underway to prevent those enfranchised from exercising their constitutional right to vote. Outside groups (and some groups connected to the inside) have taken up this deplorable shadow campaign, which unfortunately strikes at the legitimacy...
...schemes this year ought to be an affront to all Americans.

And several surveys showed Kerry outperforming Bush in the socalled battleground states--places like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida--that will really decide who takes the oath of office next January. With so much conflicting data, each side can claim momentum going into the final leg of the campaign. --By James Carney...
