November 7, 20169 yr There are 4,000 people in a half-mile voting line in Cincinnati today. This isn’t okay. - Vox These stories are all over the nation. Honestly, if I had to wait for hours in line, I probably would stay home. What can we do to help voters cast their vote?
November 7, 20169 yr Stop trying to purge people from the voting rolls for reasons like not voting in the past few elections. Allow people to register and vote on the same day. Expand the number of early voting days and sites. Allow online voter registration. Stop allowing partisan activists to challenge individuals' voter eligibility. This all sounds good, but I can't take credit. https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/democracy/reports/2016/10/11/145796/preventing-problems-at-the-polls-ohio/

November 7, 20169 yr Trump noted that everyone is changing their clocks and setting them back an hour, giving people an extra hour to vote. He says this is proof that the whole thing is rigged and crooked hilliary can even get the clock stopped.
November 7, 20169 yr Everyone who is a citizen should be able to vote, felon or not. We have to have voter ID though, and both parties should work to get that done, not just in Presidential election years

November 7, 20169 yr NC courts ruled this weekend that something like 6k names had to be restored to the voter rolls. A private group had initially gotten them removed due to mail being returned.
November 7, 20169 yr This didn't happen anywhere in the Florida, that I know of. As I said in another thread, I voted on Friday. No lines. This is how it worked ... Early voting started on October 24th. In most counties, especially the most populated, the early voting locations are in public libraries. When you get or renew your drivers license or state ID card (for those that don't drive), you register to vote. Your drivers license or ID card is all you need to vote. You can still register if your drivers license was issued prior to the change in the registration law (I don't know when that was. I renewed mine a few years ago and had to register, then). Curiously, although the deadline for registration for this election was October 18, there were registration forms at each check-in computer terminal at the early voting location I voted at (Upper Tampa Bay Public Library).

November 7, 20169 yr It's done. Settled this morning. I wonder which side gained the most using the election as leverage.
