Anyway, I doubt that the aforementioned intimidation has been organized or permitted by Democratic officials.

Another problem is using absentee ballots to engage in ballot stuffing. Over 700,000 absentee ballots were cast in Florida in the 2000 election. Of those, the Dems tried to challenge about 3,000, which were blatently illegal. The GOP attacked the Dems by saying they were trying to take away military personals' right to vote. So the Dem's backed off. Since the ballots weren't challenged, they counted.
Two things occured here. Illegal ballot stuffing and legal tricks. The GOP attacks were perfectly legal. Granted, there were for an illegal end, but they ere legal. The Democrats did not have to back down. They did so of their own accord.
If you're in a line full of obvious Kerry supportes trying to vote early and they ask you for whom you intend to vote, you can lie, and tell them Kerry, then vote for Bush, Badnarik, Nader, etc. You are not compelled to tell them the truth. Nor do they stop you from voting. As disgusting as it is, it involves a choice on your part.
