Kenneth Blackwell (a black man himself) attempted to revive an archaic rule requiring that voter registration cards be printed only on thick, 80-pound paper. People for the American Way, part of a coalition of 60 civil rights organizations, have protested the “unduly burdensome and costly regulation that will…disenfranchise some voters at time of unprecedented new voter registration activity in Ohio...

The Army would move to the southwestern edge and the tankers to the northern limits, while F/A-18s continued to pound suspected insurgent hideouts. Yet this was not the big showdown everyone had expected but rather an attempt to see how the insurgents inside the city would respond. A Marine battle-operations officer called it "a dress rehearsal" for the ultimate combat. This was a scouting mission, a risk-filled feint supported...
