http://thegrio.com/2012/11/01/99-year-old-florida-woman-votes-for-the-first-time/#49649283 For the first time in her 99 years of life, Rosie Lewis cast a ballot. “She’s an amazing person. 99-years-old and still has her right mind,” said her grandson Nelson Lewis. In her modest Fort Myers home, she sat in her favorite chair close to the Bible and with her ballot in hand. |

Oh Ken give it up., if you think Republicans are still not trying to suppress the vote, you are ignoring the news and the media. From Ohio to Florida the GOP are still trying to cut the number of Democrats that vote. People are waiting to vote in Florida for 7 hours, REPUBLICANRick Governor Scott is refusing to open voting booths for longer in predominately Democratic areas yet in Orange county a REPUBLICAN STRINGHOLD 4 POLLING STATIONS ARE BE BE GIVEN EXTRA VOTING HOURS. Early voting hours also shrink in Ohio, though legal battles forced them open a bit longer than the original plan. More important, Secretary of State Jon Husted, who’s been consistently trying to reduce the number of votes to count all year, just added a last-minute change to the provisional ballot that is clearly designed to trip up voters and invalidate their vote. In an order to election officials on Friday night, Husted shifted the burden of correctly filling out a provisional ballot from the poll worker to the voter, specifically pertaining to the recording of a voter’s form of ID, which was previously the poll worker’s responsibility. Any provisional ballot with incorrect information will not be counted, Husted maintains. This seemingly innocuous change has the potential to impact the counting of thousands of votes in Ohio and could swing the election in this closely contested battleground. “Our secretary of state has created a situation, here in Ohio, where he will invalidate thousands and thousands of people’s votes,” Brian Rothenberg, executive director of ProgessOhio, said during a press conference at the board of elections in Cuyahoga County yesterday in downtown Cleveland. Added State Senator Nina Turner: “‘SoS’ used to stand for ‘secretary of state.’ But under the leadership of Jon Husted, ‘SoS’ stands for ‘secretary of suppression.’ ” In 2008, 40,000 of the 207,000 provisional ballots cast in Ohio were rejected. The majority of the state’s provisional ballots were cast in Ohio’s five largest counties, which are strongly Democratic. Moreover, provisional ballots are more likely to be cast by poorer and more transient residents of the state, who are also less likely to vote Republican. http://news.firedoglake.com/2012/11/05/voter-suppression-in-action-in-florida-ohio-over-the-weekend/ |

I don't get it Kenny. She decided to vote for the first time at 99. She didn't care about politics for years. As for the voter disenfranchisement we shall see what the aftermath is in a few days. |

Kenny must still be feeling sore because he claimed that voter suppression was not happening. Yet when all the cases where passing through the courts and the Democrats were winning to stop Republican governors trying to suppress the vote he had nothing to say. |
