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 OhioÂ’s 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.

Excellent post! I'm still waiting for an answer to this as well from him
Okay, kiddies, this is how it went down:
Husted shut down ALL early voting.
Then there were complaints about Ohio soldiers not getting extended hours and absentee ballots. The early voting was reinstated for the soldiers.
Then the wingnuts claimed that the left wanted to shut down early voting for the military, sfter the left just restored the military's early vote.
Then the decision for ealy voting went to each County Board of Elections Commission, 2 democrats and 2 republicans on each board. The democrats all voted yes for extended hours, the republicans voted no - except for the ones in largely republican counties.
Instead of extending hours across the state as he should have, Husted only extended hours in republican counties. He was ordered to either extend voting statewide, or cut it statewide.
The whole state can vote early.
However, polls in democratic counties only have 1 or 2 booths, so it takes longer to get voters through the line, clearly an attempt to suppress voting.
Why do the republitards have to cheat? There's still Florida, after all...oh, wait...
