Once again you lack sufficient information. I believe Ohio's Secretary of State, a Republican, cast the deciding vote to move the Hamilton County election site from downtown Cincinnati to the end of a bus line. Can't continue to make it too easy for those inner-city voters to cast early ballots for Obama or Mrs. Clinton.

Answer the question, what color was the state in the last election? So, don't paint it like it's a GOP dominated state. Now they grand ol' party is moving into the populus of the Buckeye states to suppress those underprivileged folks so it might change colors next election when it's a swing state again. Hogwash. But if a portable excuse in the event the color of that state changes makes you feel better, fire away.

Sure. Or, there's still issue with voter fraud or this wouldn't be a national topic. Or is that a GOP suppressive tactic too?

It's called Republican voter suppression. In one of the three states cited, didn't the governor even admit that there was no vote fraud problem in the state? Sheesh.

So, why is there such staunch opposition to verification by way of ID to vote if you're certain, along with those governors (who were elected by vote, oddly enough) that there's no fraud? Why the opposition if there's no problem? Or are we gonna revert back to travel issues, and underprivileged stuff again?

Neither blue nor red. It's scarlet and gray.

 

Re: " ... suppress those underprivileged folks ...": That's exactly what's happening.

The governor's office and legislature are both held by Republicans and it is one of the states proposing more strict and difficult voting practices. How does Ohio going for Obama negate that?

These GOP-led suppression efforts involve much more than voting with or without an ID.

 

The overall tactic, of course, will bite the GOP in the posterior. Make it tough for people to vote and, by golly, they'll show you.

I'm referring solely to the presidential election. The governor was an R last election, yet that state was on the Dem ledger. Is there really widespread panic that one voter locale has been moved? Is the footing that tenuous?

Oh yes, end of the bus line again. Got it.

Oh, and why the angst, that 20pt gender gap and the whole Hobby Lobby deal should have this thing sewn up.

You're correct. End of the bus line is one tactic. Reduce number of early voting days is another. Eliminate straight-party ballots so voters have to spend more time filling out ballots, thus creating longer lines on election day. North Carolina GOP even targeting students. Believe they closed a polling site near Appalachian State University in obvious ignorance of the fact that Romney and not Obama won that precinct two years ago. Ha ha ha. The GOP's voter suppression train keeps chugging along.

Yeah, because only democrats are voting in those places, have to wait in longer lines, and have to think awfully hard on each selection instead of pulling granddaddy's Dem lever.

 

Got it.

Iraq got any of the purple dye left?

 

One thumb - one vote - no ID required.

Oregon votes by mail. Both Democrats (85 percent) and Republicans (76 percent) give a thumbs-up to the statewide election system. So why hasn't this caught on in other states?
