Early voting in Ohio is out of control. Last year I went to the Board of Elections to pick up a request for absentee ballot for my wife. This must have been 3 weeks or so ahead of the elections. There were at least 10 people there filling out their ballots.....
Really? you need to drive to the board of elections 3 weeks early to vote instead of driving a block or 2 on election day? Doesn't make much sense to me.
Why not? Maybe they'll be on vacation. Maybe they have to work out of town that day. Maybe they just don't want to deal with the ******* lines on Election Day. In 2008 we had lines out the door on Saturday early voting days.
But that soldier in Afghanistan or even California..... Yeah they should have their ballots weeks ahead of time. Lord knows when they get a chance to fill them out and get them mailed back....
The Move Act
requires that ballots are mailed to UOCAVA voters
at least 45 days before the Election. In California, we mail them out 60 days before the election.
This injunction in Ohio has NOTHING to do with any of that.
Look, I voted absentee in 1980. I had no problems doing that.
But the idea that it's EQUAL with the military is just LUDICROUS.
I don't care where you are in the country, you still have a better chance of getting your vote in than someone stationed overseas, especially in some rat hole in Afghanistan.
If Obama wants this about equality then DRAFT every person who wants to vote early so they have to vote just like those men and women who DIE FOR US EVERY DAY, and then it's all equal.
Until then it's ALL BULLSHIT! Obama is targeting Ohio, because he needs Ohio to win, and JUST LIKE IN 2000, Obama like Al Gore knows he can't win, if all the military vote is counted.
Remember when they kept throwing away military votes, because they claimed they were posted dated too late, and the Secretary of State for Florida said that was ludicrous?
They did it to help Al Gore. You know it, I know it.
So Cut the crap. Democrats are fooling NO ONE!
