You wouldn't believe what I had to go thru just to renew my CDL's just so I can vote and yet the voters card I been using for over 30 yrs is a problem and if you ask what it is they don't have a answer.Thanks to this GOP chairman now we know why. |

I wonder why none of the Republicans have posted on this thread. They have alot to say about everything other than racism in the Republican party and racist voter suppression laws. The Ohio law, HB 194, cuts the days of early voting from 35 to 17, including eliminating the three busiest days just prior to the election. It also ends the requirement that poll workers assist voters who are at the wrong precinct and prevents county election boards from sending mail ballot applications to all registered voters. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown told the hearing that the new laws are being promoted "under the guise of preventing voter fraud and saving money," but this is "a solution in search of a problem," since no evidence of voter fraud has ever been presented. The real aim of the "one political party" pushing these efforts, he said referring to the Republicans, is to suppress voting by minorities, youth, disabled, elderly, homeless, and low income people. There has been a great victory in Ohio that had to repeal this law but we still have more work to stop voter suppression. |

What about the Black citizens? ... who are so cowardly & so afraid of a Black President doing the unthinkable----by treating Blacks equal to the rest of America? ...how cancerous are they? When they get angry then catch uppity-Negro Syndrome toward any Black people who speak truth to Obama's antics. Edited by The SOLE Controller, Aug 21 2012, 11:46 AM.

Democrats need to start getting active now, each and every one of us. Voter suppression will hit us hard and we have to be prepared. Join your local Democratic office, help register new voters and most importantly know how voting rules in your area have changed, encourage people to get some form of photo ID. The Black church is getting active in working in communities so volunteer. |

I am not sure why P.O.A.S.S.A IS DETERMINED TO RUIN EVERY THREAD. HE IS GETTING BORING AND YET WILL LECTURE PEOPLE ABOUT STICKING TO SERIOUS ISSUES. Why do Ohio Republicans suddenly feel so strongly about limiting early voting hours in Democratic counties? Franklin County (Columbus) GOP Chair Doug Preisse gave a surprisingly blunt answer to the Columbus Dispatch on Sunday: “I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban—read African-American—voter-turnout machine.” Preisse is not some rogue operative but the chairman of the Republican Party in Ohio’s second-largest county and a close adviser to Ohio Governor John Kasich. Like Pennsylvania House majority leader Mike Turzai, who said his state’s voter ID law “is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania,” Preisse said publicly what many Republicans believe privately—keeping turnout down among Obama supporters is the best way for the GOP to win the 2012 election. That’s why, since the 2010 election, Republicans have devoted so much energy to voter-suppression efforts like limiting early voting hours, restricting voter registration drives, passing voter ID laws, disenfranchising ex-felons and purging the voter rolls. Cutbacks to early voting disproportionately disenfranchise African-American voters in Ohio. African-Americans comprise 21 percent of the population in Franklin and Montgomery counties and 28 percent in Cleveland’s Cuyahoga County but accounted for 31 percent, 52 percent and 56 percent of early voters in the respective counties in 2008. (Nearly half of early voting in Franklin County in 2008 did so on nights or weekends.) |
