Republicans set back by courts

The Republicans have been requesting that courts investigate the record number of new registered Democrats. However, voting rights activists are concerned that thousands of legitimate voters could be disqualified in the process. Recently though, judged have ruled against Republican challenges in major battleground states.

On Friday, the White House required the Department of Justice to investigated 200,000 Ohio voters.

The discrepancies are mostly due to the use of nicknames on voter registration or typos in databases. Some say the main reason that so many new registered voters are being investigated is that larger turnout would help the Democrats.

The McCain campaign is currently in a struggle with ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) which is under investigation for fraudulent voter registration.
