Breaking: Federal Judge Restores Early Voting In Ohio After Obama Suit

its like me citing MSNBC :rolleyes:

MSLSD is laughable. But WHAT they "report" is either true and valid or it's not.

I have no use for MSLSD. But if they report "X," "Y," and "Z," then I would not summarily reject those claims JUST on the basis that the particular messenger happened to be MSLSD.

But that kind of slovenly "thinking" is what you just did. :rolleyes:
 
Federal Judge Restores Early Voting In Ohio After Obama Suit


A federal judge in Ohio restored early voting rights in the three days before the election on Friday, ruling in favor of the Obama campaign.

U.S. District judge Peter C. Economus ruled that "restoring in-person early voting to all Ohio voters through the Monday before Election Day does not deprive UOCAVA voters from early voting."

"Instead, and more importantly, it places all Ohio voters on equal standing," Economus ruled. He said the state "fails to articulate a precise, compelling interest in establishing the 6 p.m. Friday deadline as applied to non-UOCAVA voters and has failed to evidence any commitment to the 'exception' it rhetorically extended to UOCAVA voters."

The Romney campaign had falsely accused Obama of trying to curtail military voting when the suit simply sought to force the state to make early voting available to all Ohio voters.
Great news, it's certainly the right thing to do.

There's nothing "certain" about it.

Another wing nut that doesn't understand what fact is only innuendo.Try looking up some facts or does faux news make it okay for you?




The GOP doesn't believe in your silly politics either, so quit yer whinin'.

Voter fraud counts for at least 10% of all Democrat votes in every election

They know that's the only way they can keep Dems competitive, otherwise its between the RINOs and Tea Party, with Dems a distant third
 
What a comfort to know that "Mickey Mouse" living at Park Bench, OH gets to vote instead of one of our people fighting overseas.

Do you say this shit to be an ass or are you truly this ignorant? UOCAVA voters get their ballots mailed or EMAILED to them AT LEAST 45 days before the election. Here in liberal CA it is 60 days.

He said the state "fails to articulate a precise, compelling interest in establishing the 6 p.m. Friday deadline as applied to non-UOCAVA voters and has failed to evidence any commitment to the 'exception' it rhetorically extended to UOCAVA voters."

These are basic tenets of Constitutional jurisprudence: the state must have a compelling interest and evidence to justify restricting a fundamental right, in this case voting.

Federal judge restores democratic plan of Vote early Vote often

Wrong as usual, Gramps – just like the state, you have zero evidence of any voting irregularities or that the re-instated policy would contribute to fraud.
 
You folks are making baseless accusations with absolutely no evidence to back it up. There is no evidence whatsoever that allowing early voting results in any more or any less voter fraud. None.

The judge made the appropriate ruling.

Wrong:

● Some Nevadans who tried voting early for Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle instead saw Democrat Harry Reid’s name appear on their electronic voting machines. Some voters complained about this apparent glitch, but how many others have unwittingly miscast their ballots? Intriguingly, these machines are maintained in Las Vegas by members of the Service Employees International Union. SEIU gave 95.3 percent of its 2008 campaign contributions to Democrats. SEIU president Andy Stern was last year’s most frequent visitor to the White House.

● Daytona Beach city commissioner Derrick Henry and Genesis Robinson, his campaign manager, are facing voter-fraud charges for allegedly completing 92 absentee-ballot applications with the names of Floridians who never requested them or who had moved away.

● The return address on 250 absentee-ballot applications in Bridgeport, Conn., is 1238 North Avenue — a vacant lot.

● Officials in Bucks County, Pa., are investigating 500 apparently fraudulent absentee-ballot applications. Also, the so-called Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office sent citizens letters encouraging them to apply for absentee ballots, but no such office exists. The letter says it was financed by the Pennsylvania Democratic Committee. The committee sees “no evidence of any irregularity or problem.”

That piece goes back to 2010.

There are very real problems with early voting and absentee ballots that do not get addressed until we fix the flaws in voter registration and voter I.D. laws.

The Nevada incident was never proven and those other three incidents have nothing to do with early voting.

Great news. This was one of the few cases where I could see some dyed-in-the-wool voter suppression taking place. I usually am dubious about such claims.
