What other state would you credit to Perot tipping?

 

I honestly don't care to go through this, who really cares since it's all speculation anyway. Clinton won.

(In case you're interested, it seems like there's actually a trend of increasing turnout over the past decade or so, with higher turnout in 2008 than any year since 68).

We vote for the same old s***. I vote Democratic because it's like "at least they're not Republicans and even if they don't move us forward, they won't move us back to the Gilded Age, or the Salem Witch Trials"

More examples of Republicans changing voting laws to disenfranchise Democratic voting demographics

 

Now, in heavily Democratic cities like Cleveland, Columbus, Akron and Toledo, early voting hours will be limited to 8 am until 5 pm on weekdays beginning on October 1, with no voting at night or during the weekend, when it’s most convenient for working people to vote. Republican election commissioners have blocked Democratic efforts to expand early voting hours in these counties, where the board of elections are split equally between Democratic and Republican members. Ohio Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted has broken the tie by intervening on behalf of his fellow Republicans.

 

‘I cannot create unequal access from one county board to another, and I must also keep in mind resources available to each county,” Husted said in explaining his decision to deny expanded early voting hours in heavily Democratic counties. Yet in solidly Republican counties like Warren and Butler, GOP election commissioners have approved expanded early voting hours on nights and weekends. Noted the Cincinnati Enquirer: “The counties where Husted has joined other Republicans to deny expanded early voting strongly backed then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008, while most of those where the extra hours will stand heavily supported GOP nominee John McCain.” Moreover, budget constraints have not stopped Republican legislators from passing costly voter ID laws across the map since 2010.

The working poor cannot afford to take unpaid leave to vote during the middle of the day. Of course, these rules have been modified to limit early voting only to weekday working hours in heavily Democratic areas.

Why are you trying to take away the voting rights of our troops?

It takes a special kind of asshole to reframe challenging a law that restricted early voting for everyone but military members as trying to take away the military's right to vote.

If it was something racist, or giant dicks (which I would still find hilarious) then I could understand. But the article says whales and seaturtles...

No s***. But the thing is, the more people who pay attention to it, the more he's going to leave it because he likes the attention.

It is truly amazing that this country was able to elect anyone to office prior to the early/absentee/extended voting bulls***. How did we ever manage?

Not sure if joke?

 

It makes perfect sense to enable early voting in republican districts and restrict it in democratic districts. Just protecting democracy from the will of the people.
