Limiting voting hours in Florida is backfiring on Republicans

Ah yes, that voluntary aristocracy called the primaries that involves tens of millions of people.

 

In Austin, voted last thursday..took about 5 min of waiting...wife went on Friday and took about 20 min..same spot...just a lot of last minute folks here...

 

Shall I post the list of laws passed by republican state legislatures that are have suppressed the right of it's citizens?

You are the one with their head in the sand.

 

Go ahead, and please post your evidence that shows they specifically intended to stop people from voting so that they wouldn't vote the other party. I can think of one instance in Florida where a Republican has been quoted as saying something similar, but that's the only one I can think of.

 

Where you are forced to vote for who the party chooses. You saw how they ripped Ron Paul's delegates away. So he has a little fact based in his assessment.

 

Took me about a minute to park because of some redneck's parking job and his tailgate was down.....

And about 3 min to vote.....had to update my address.

 

Sorry, I thought we were discussing voting suppression, but go ahead and post any other laws you believe suppress the rights of citizens. Make sure they are legitimate please, which means just because a law screws a few people over, doesn't mean it was an intentional suppression of rights. All laws make winners and losers. I'll respond tomorrow cause I'm goin home!

 

Last I saw, Ron Paul competed in a primary and only got a tiny fraction of the votes that Mitt Romney got. If Ron Paul wanted to be on the general election ballot, he had every opportunity to run with the Libertarian Party or as an indepenent.

 

You mean things like:

"Voter ID which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the State of Pennsylvania... Done!" - Pennsylanvania Speaker of the House

Oh perhaps this in Ohio:


"I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine" - Ohio GOP Chairman, explaining the reason for limiting early voting hours

If you're looking for a "yes, we did it to screw over Democrats" quote, you're being a bit silly. Do you find it at all odd that increased voting hours increases voting - especially for the poor, elderly, and minorities - and all the places trying to reducing voting hours are being led by Republicans?

 

Those crafty Republicans. How did they managed to make just the Democrats stand in line.

 

I'm not fully versed on voter fraud and all that, but the obvious answer to this question is by targeting democratic polling places, it's a pretty simple concept.

 

Forget it Major. Like the President said.

It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant.

 

Are you familiar with demographics?

 

Yes. Only Democrats are being disenfranchised. Its all a big Republican conspiracy!!!!

 

Were the laws applied EQUALLY to everyone? Were Republican early voting places kept open longer than Democrat ones? How many days did Florida have to cast early ballots? I get really friggin tired of hearing libtards crying all the time. I guess we will have to listen to this crap for four years.

 

Yes

Look at OH

I'll amend that, The OH SoS wanted to do that but the SC blocked it.

 

Common sense is lost on them. They buy what ever the liberal media tries to sell them.

 

Funny, I could have sworn this was a thread about the poor Florida Democrats.

 

It's happening in at least three states that we know of

 

MC, I think you are an intelligent guy. I really do. You can't be this naive.

To this, I will add if anyone is TRULY doing something to suppress turnout that goes against laws already on the books then they should get in trouble. Just because the liberal media reports it, doesn't make it so.
