How very different it would be if they were challenging people who they honestly did not believe were correctly registered prior to the election.

I'm Glad you put "if" in there, the facts are both parties are challenging voters that may not be registered properly, that happens all the time and is the correct thing to do.
Now on to the BS about voter disinfranchisment(sp?) crap, in 2000 there were, what reports of hundereds maybe up to 1,500 supposed incidents. In counties where there is a voter population in the 1,000,000's. 10,000's of voting precencts(sp?) with many poll workers in each one, and handling 100's if 1,000's of voters. Now think about that, do the numbers, we are talking about a miniscule(sp?) percentage. Now instead of these problems being something that is more likely, like a tired poll worker being short tempered with a voter, or not understanding what a voter askes them, or any other of the many
NORMAL problems that accur when ever Humans interact with each other in large numbers! No we jump to there must be some kind of cheating going on, some thing under handed.
Lord help us and we are the top of the food chain.
