Sister Julie McGuire said she was forced to turn away her fellow members of Saint Mary's Convent in South Bend, even though they had been told earlier that they would need to get such an ID to vote.
More than 1.6 million votes were cast with no trouble for these voters. smashed the 1992 primary turnout of a little more than 1 million votes.
Some 70 percent of the presidential votes cast statewide were Democratic ballots, with even heavily Republican counties such as Johnson County in suburban Indianapolis having more than 60 percent of its votes in the Barack Obama-Hillary Rodham Clinton race.
So I was right about the large number of cross over vote from the republicans. It had a big effect on the outcome of this election. I suspect that a large number of these voters who crossed over did so by two reasons. One Obama is of the black race and the media attention that was given to Rev. Wright. When a person gets in front of the cameras and says God-Dam America, it will not set very well with the Conservatives in Indiana
We also set a new record for absentee voting with 173,000 ballots cast in person or by mail through Monday, according to the Indiana secretary of state's office. That is more than three times the number of early ballots cast in the 2004 presidential primary.
Indiana has had its day this time in the National election. But I again ask, will they ever remember us after November, 2008?
