    Well then these facts won't impress you either. Reality isn't one of your strong suits.

    The reality is there wasn't supposed to be any early voting yesterday.

    I've never voted where election workers could be identified as Republican or Democrat so I can only conclude this reliable person is making assumptions.

    Its reasonable to assume shenanigans are republican tactics. All the documented shenanigans this year have been from the right because that's what they do! I know a shameless partisan view. I am to lazy to post all those links this morning.

    Not a rumor... have an email out to her for details. I know polling places have been shut down in certain areas and long lines caused some polling places to close and lock doors.

    None of these example rise to the level of republicans creating long lines for voters like in Florida, and Ohio. Seems 10 democratic shenanigans doesn't equal one of yours. You guys are really good at shenanigans.

    I mean really good and still one day left for more shenanigans and I am sure you fellows will not dissapoint.

    That was addressed, there was not supposed to be any early voting yesterday.

    This was while polling places were open, but then shut down midstream.

    From my friend -- "Long lines and then they had to move to stations to verify signature and registration. He is in Miami."

    By Florida law the polls weren't supposed to be open, which is one of the reasons for all the outrage in this thread... the left can't seem to agree to any rules when it comes to voting. Vote early, vote often, no matter who you are and if you don't get your way then throw a fit or threaten to blow the mfer up.

    Me, I follow the rules. Rules are good.

    Florida opened the polls (so much for rules), then closed them, then reopened them because of the outcry. So much for rules.

    Only a NUT would wait 4 hours to vote, and then wait another 4 hours to vote again for a grand total of one fraudulent vote.

    And that's why we have rules, so sh*t like this doesn't happen.

    Hello, again:

    Republican voter suppression is in full view these days. I don't know. Maybe the Republicans are telling us the truth.. Maybe it's a logistics problem and NOT a voter suppression problem... Maybe there's just TOO many voters for the state to handle...

    Bwa, ha ha ha..

    In MY state, there's no wait.. Let me say that again.. We have NO wait. Voting is EASY. Of course, MY state is run by Democrats. We LOVE it when people vote... Republicans don't...

    Why do they have to cheat?

    Conspicuously absent from the States that allow early voting beyond absentee is the very populous and very blue state of NY . Also Mass. Is not on the list . Why are the Dems suppressing the vote in those states ?

    Answer ,they are not . There is no compelling reason to have early voting ,even in very populous states like New York. I haven't even heard any call to extend voting hours tomorrow despite the ravages of Sandy.

    Exactly, their outrage is manufactured BS. As long as everyone in the state has to play by the same rules then they have nothing to stand on but faux outrage.
