Study of Franklin County Voting Machine Allocation by Tim Lohrentz

Detailed study of Franklin County Voting Machine Allocation by Tim Lohrentz concludes:

"The Franklin County, Ohio, Board of Elections practiced widespread voter suppression in the allocation of voting machines on November 2, 2004. In an analysis of official Franklin County data on voting machines per precinct, precincts where machines were added or subtracted from 2000 to 2004, and the party affiliations of the registered voters, Democratic precincts were nearly twice as likely as Republican precincts to have voting machines subtracted from 2000 to 2004."
