There is no voter suppression. Vote days are many and vote days are long. iF any person does not vote it is only because they do not have the interest.
Have you ever been to the DMV? A real look at a pathetic, government run, agency. I have been for certain reasons and waited until they closed and never had a turn. Guess what? I came back the next day...that is life. We don't all get what is 'fair' and we do have to follow the rules, despite what BO has told you.
If early voting lines are long that proves people are fired up to vote. That is a good thing. If you don't get there early enough and the polls close, sorry, but again, that is life.
Last several times I went to my local DMV I was in and out in no more than 45 minutes.
Not understanding how people are okay with waiting online to vote for 6,7,8+ hours.
Voter suppression is having the polls open for 8 days??
I know democrats are lazy, but 8 days is more than enough to go in and vote.
Voter suppression is long lines?
What in life haven't you had to stand in line for?
Sounds like a bunch of whiny people to me. What needs to happen is to go back to election day where everyone went in and cast their ballot. We don't need months of early voting. All it does is open up chances for fraud and manipulation.
It isn't just that they cut the number of days. They also cut the number of early voting locations in those areas that had large Democratic turn-outs in 2008.
That IS voter-suppression any way you look at it.
I was reading stories about how some Florida poll workers were deliberately making things slow, doing stuff like making copies of ballots and stuff to keep people waiting. Hopefully people are snapping pictures of this sort of thing.
Many of the polling place workers are retirees that do this job once every two years or so.
Also, it's my understanding that there are BOTH republican and democrat voting judges at each voting place.
Yeah, snap off some pictures of 72 year old Gertrude Leadbottom getting paid $8/hour at a job she's semi-familiar with because her lack of efficiency is some sort of sinister conspiracy......muah hah hah hah!
P.S. My relatives do this for some extra spending $$$ and they are pushing 80.

No, it's not voter suppression it is the economy. Everyone is cutting back.
