Civil rights groups representing blacks, Hispanics and the disabled accused Republican Party workers on Thursday of trying to keep U.S. minorities from voting.
"In state after state, Republican officials and operatives are working to deny American citizens the right to vote," said Wade Henderson, executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.
A Republican official denied the charge and voiced concern Democrats may try to steal the election on Tuesday. Opinion polls show President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry running neck and neck.
Citing concerns over possible vote suppression in such swing states as Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, civil rights officials said they feared a reprise of the 2000 election, in which they said thousands of minority voters were illegally disenfranchised.
