Why is it that the areas that are cutting back voting hours are nearly all in larger cities controlled by Democrats?
It seems far more likely that reduced hours are to exclude people that work and give more power to those that sit on their ass collecting checks.
{sigh} try reading the provided news articles on the subject. I'll break it down...
In REPUBLICAN Districts they are approving early voting. In DEMOCRATIC Districts they are denying early voting. ("They" being REPUBLICANS)
That seem fair to you?
If they are Democratic districts, how is it that the Republicans are restricting hours when they don't control the board of elections?
I am quite capable of reading... And identifying hypocrisy.
If you read it, then you must've seen this...
If the debate plays out as it has in Ohios other major urban counties, it likely will result in a 2-2 tie vote by board members, with Democrats in favor of extending voting hours and Republicans opposed.
That would place the question before Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican who over the past several weeks has consistently sided with GOP elections board members elsewhere in casting tie-breaking votes against extending voting hours during the weeks leading up to the Nov. 6 election.[...]
In Southwest Ohio, elections boards in traditionally Republican Butler and Warren counties have approved special night and weekend voting hours from early October through Nov. 1.
Because Democrats did not oppose the idea, there were no tie votes to submit to Husted, leaving those early voting plans intact.
