COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Tanya Thivener's is a tale of two voting precincts in
Franklin County. In her city neighborhood, which is vastly Democratic
and majority black, the 38-year-old mortgage broker found a line
snaking out of the precinct door.
She stood in line for four hours -- one hour in the rain -- and watched
dozens of potential voters mutter in disgust and walk away without
casting a ballot. Afterward, Thivener hopped in her car and drove to
her mother's house, in the vastly Republican and majority white suburb
of Harrisburg. How long, she asked, did it take her to vote?
