A recent exampleof the stories being marginalised can be found in the crucial swing state of Ohio. The US Supreme Court just turned down an appeal from the Republican Secretary of State, Jon Husted, who was trying to shut down early voting.
Husted responded by limiting the hours for voting on the days he was forced to let people vote, to a total of 16 hours over three days. The state enacted an early voting law - signed by a Republican governor - in 2006, following a catastrophic failure in the 2004 elections, which saw some people waiting in lines for more than 10 hours on election day, with tens of thousands estimated to have given up.

If you have to wait 10 hours to vote there already is a problem with THAT system and it should be addressed.bannination wrote:http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinio ... terAccount

I have gone by the early voting over on Spartanburg Hwy. a few times and the line was out the door and they do have a sheriff directing traffic. But I have never waited more then 15-20 minutes on election day anyplace in my life.

So you're saying that Republicans are suppressing the vote in Spartanburg too... not surprising.. they've spent more time and money on attempting to prevent voters that would typically vote Democrat than they did last election cycle..Colonel Taylor wrote:I have gone by the early voting over on Spartanburg Hwy. a few times and the line was out the door .
They clearly have no compunction about cheating to win.. then they never did.. .

Re: Democracy denied: Millions of Americans blocked from vot
Please give us YOUR liberal FACTS that there is VOTER SUPPRESSION in Henderson County by the Republicans. Just typical liberal B/S, so should we call the media with your facts or wait to read them in tomorrow's paper.Crock Hunter wrote:Typical rightwing nitwit rejection of facts.. ..

How are they going to stop a person from voting if they have a voter card.
Early voting don't seem right to me. I guess it is safer than the mail vote. I don't know.

It's all about the liberal boogeyman coming down and taking their mythical cards.

Wow vrede the delusional is lying in full force today. Where did I say they needed a card? Lie and Deny the vrede way! Oh and that thing after CARD is a question mark, seems as though you don't know that.Colonel Taylor wrote:nobody wrote:How are they going to stop a person from voting if they have a voter card.

nobody thinks having a voter card is necessary to vote.
Colonel Taylor does not correct him.
Colonel Taylor endorses nobody's ignorance by discussing the "taking" of voting cards.
There is a "?" after "card", there is not " :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: ".
It's the same darned thing to everyone but you.
Post dumb, get caught, get confused, screw up the quote so it looks like he's arguing with himself (fixed now, the world cleans up his messes), divert to a former stupid post, Lie and Deny - It's the Colonel Taylor way.
