    Hello again, Steve:

    Then what was it that the people WITHOUT ID's were too "lazy" to do?

    I guess you're going to have to help me out again. I see plenty of times I said voters are NOT stupid and helpless but none calling them lazy.

    Hello again, Steve:

    Well, I think you did, but these search features suck, so I'm not going to look.. It's a distraction anyway. I'll take stupid and helpless.. You're referring, of course, to something they have to DO and Not who they are.

    Whether voters are too stupid or not, the law REQUIRES them to DO something, or they won't emerge from the gauntlet. THAT process is what the court determined disenfranchises eligible voters from voting..

    Which is voter suppression in ANY language.

    Nah, it's like all Current Event threads - there are really pointless and will sway no one to change their opinions. They only serve to reinforce ones currently held beliefs.

    It must suck to be so cynical.

    What would it take for you to vote for a democrat?

    Yes I have, recently, locally, and I really don't remember why other than I obviously did not care for the Republican.

    Hello again,

    The right wing Secretary of State in Ohio is appealing a decision that SUPPORTS early voting.

    I'm STILL having trouble seeing how DENYING early voting adds to the integrity of the vote.. Can you explain it to me in SIMPLE terms??

    Early voting is a choice, not required. I have made up my mind and three more debates or sixteen thousand more ads will not sway me. It's like eloping instead of waiting until the scheduled wedding day.

    Oh those poor, helpless, disenfranchised liberals that can't manage to vote in a 35 day window. Most states have a cutoff for early voting I believe, in Texas it's November 2nd, the same day Ohio wants as a cutoff. I don't see the problem... unless maybe the Dems are behind in getting busloads of out of state people to vote that weekend.

    I think that about sums it up. You're FINE with the state putting LIMITS on voting. I believe the OPPOSITE...

    Not limits, rules. They have 35 early voting days with the new rule, 45 for military or overseas. When do you want them to vote, before they know who the candidate is? The day after the last election? What good is that October surprise if everyone voted 6 months ago?

    LOL you guys are counting on an October surprise to get your guy elected? That's pretty desperate. What if the surprise is about Romney and you guys have voted early?

    Even though you guys were defeated in court, you still have managed to confuse EVERYBODY on what the laws are in most of the states. After being caught paying a few millions of your own money for a hit man named Sproul who got caught!

    So holler all you want about integrity NOBODY believes you guys have any and the only reason you cannot admit it is then EVERYBODY would reject your obstructionism and lies.

    Um, I was referring to the possibility an Obama October surprise and it was sarcasm. The rest of your post is just reflexively regurgitated rubbish.

    Maybe the surprise is Obama fund raising efforts of foreign contributions out of Shanghai.
