WTF!!!

From the link:

Doug Preisse, a GOP county chairman and advisor to Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) in Ohio, e-mailed this to the Dispatch: “I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine,” said Doug Preisse, chairman of the county Republican Party and elections board member who voted against weekend hours, in an email toThe Dispatch. “Let’s be fair and reasonable.”

and

According to the Dispatch story, Preisse said claims of unfairness by Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern and others were, “bull****. Quote me!”

The Republicans are scared they are going to lose in November so they are devising any strategy they can to disenfranchise American citizens they don't like from voting.
