    Hello again,

    Wow.. Florida too.. Poor Floridians...

    A federal district judge in Florida temporarily blocked the law in May because it was unconstitutional and announced on Tuesday that he plans to issue a permanent injunction.

    Two weeks ago, another three-judge panel of the federal district court in the District of Columbia unanimously rejected part of the Florida law that allowed local supervisors to significantly limit times for early voting, with a disproportionate impact on blacks in five counties of concern to the court. In those in 2008, more than half of black voters cast an early ballot, compared with just over one-fourth of white voters.

    So Florida is racist because there are five counties with lots of blacks that apparently didn't know 4 years ago we were having an election this year and couldn't be ready to vote during the scheduled voting period.

    I'm sorry, but voting is not that complicated. I give people more credit than that. You guys apparently think people are such helpless fools they can't figure out how to vote within the allotted time and rules... or you just want more time to figure out how to get more dead people on the rolls to vote.

    That's so much Malarkey. You haven't been following this battle that started with Florida purging voters 200,000. The system was flawed so they rejected it.

    I don't think its necessarily racist, but more partisan shenanigans to tilt the playing field republican, by republican run states. This is all about getting the Black guy out of the White House, and has been since he won. Does his race play a role in that? Maybe, but I think the plot would be the same for any democrat, but racism is a tool you guys have used quite effectively to poison the well.

    I wonder how many dead guys are voting for you to impact millions of voters? And you guys see nothing wrong with that? I expect a lot more efficiency from guys who are serious about being fair.

    So what's your excuse for changing the voting hours Mr. Dead man voters?

    Hello again,

    Oh no, Strike THREE! Now, it's Ohio..
    District Court Judge Peter C. Economus granted a preliminary injunction against a state law passed last year that would only allow early in-person voting by members of the military and their families. The injunction orders Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) to not enforce the law.
    Poor Ohioans..

    I'm not in favor of any early voting (except absentee voting ) . The Constitution gives Congress the authority to set the election day. Congress made it a law that Election Day is the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. There is no provision in the law that allows for early voting .

    My comment was a tongue in cheek parody of the arguments being made here... that it is a burden on military personel to get to the polls on election day and that they need special accommodations lest they be disenfranchised.

    Democrats in Maryland just admitted that voter fraud exists... and one of their own (former) candidates for congress is allegedly guilty.

    Maryland Democrat quits congressional race amid vote fraud allegations

    By Ben Pershing

    A Maryland Democratic candidate quit her congressional race Monday after her own party told state officials that she had committed fraud by voting in both Maryland and Florida in recent elections.

    Wendy Rosen, a small-business owner running against freshman Rep. Andy Harris (R) in the Eastern Shore-based 1st Congressional District, released a statement saying that “with great regret, and much sorrow” she was resigning from the contest.

    “Personal issues have made this the hardest decision that I have had to make,” Rosen said [in a statement.]

    Rosen’s announcement came the same day the state Democratic party released a letter to state Attorney General Douglas Gansler and state prosecutors reporting the allegations against Rosen.

    “The Maryland Democratic Party has discovered that Ms. Rosen has been registered to vote in both Florida and Maryland since at least 2006; that she in fact voted in the 2006 general election both in Florida and Maryland; and that she voted in the presidential preference primaries held in both Florida and Maryland in 2008,” wrote Yvette Lewis, the state party chair. “This information is based on an examination of the voter files from both states. We believe that this is a clear violation of Maryland law and urge the appropriate office to conduct a full investigation.”
    Apparently the poor thing doesn't remember if she voted twice in two states or not. But kudos to the Maryland Dems for taking action. If only Dems were as concerned as much about all those dead people, felons, non-citizens and those voting multiple times we might get somewhere.

    There has to be a better process than the ones you guys are using that makes a hardship for those that are legal voters. Then you may get more support.

    Hello again,

    What is it when you SAY you live in your sons basement in one state so you can claim residence there to RUN for office, when you clearly live in another state??

    I'd say that's voter/election fraud.. Do you know WHICH presidential candidate DID that??

    What do you call it when you file STATE income taxes IN one state, but you said you filed in another in order to be eligible to RUN for office in that state??

    I'd call it a flat out lie.. Which presidential candidate did that?

Mr Romney not living up to his image, I mean this and that dog thing, he doesn't respect voters and he doesn't respect animals and of course there is Bain, kind of make you wonder, while with Obama you have had four years to get to know him

    From your source:

    Romney refused to release his returns, and the Massachusetts Democratic Party launched a month-long investigation that backfired. The state Ballot Law Commission ruled unanimously in June that Romney was still eligible to run for governor because he had "never severed his ties to Massachusetts," despite the primary-residency filing in Utah for three years

    Hello again, Steve:

    Yeah, he got away with it, because he AMENDED his returns to reflect what he SAID they said, but didn't. After he amended them, they said what he said they said, but DIDN'T say earlier...

    Look, I'm all for a guy who slips and slides around the law. I just don't think he should be president...

    But, on to the thread at hand... I think all of the states voter suppression efforts will be heard in total by the Supreme Court and be ruled on BEFORE the election.. I think they'll be overturned, but the damage is already done.
