I'm only a short way through my morning blog scan and this is the 4th or 5th version of this. I know the Lefties will grouse that this is a right wing blog, but coming from so many different sources, can it be that wrong?

In his State of the Union address, President Obama announced a “nonpartisan” commission led by two campaign lawyers “to improve the voting experience in America” because no one should have to wait in line for “five, six, seven hours just to cast their ballot.” Obama cited the experience of Desiline Victor, the 102-year-old voter who allegedly waited in line for three hours to vote.

I myself voted early at a very convenient location and took no longer than 5 or 6 minutes in line before I went into the booth.

Oh....I get it

Because the nationwide AVERAGE is not high there is no problem with some locations making you wait for hours


Why do Republicans not want people to vote?

And just WHERE were those locations with long waiting lines?

If 45 minutes at 06:30 counts then my polling place had a long line during the Presidential election. The wait five years ago was probably double that so it is less bad. I'm more or less in St Louis.

What do you consider acceptable?

Could that have possibly had anything to do with keeping conservative voters from the polls?

Rep Allen for example?

Ah, so that means everybody had the same experience. Thanks for clearing that up.
"Logic Stabbed with Long Knife, Left for Dead"

So those who waited up to eight hours to vote are a "myth".

I guess this story is a myth too then: Former Florida GOP leaders say voter suppression was reason they pushed new election law

And this must be a transmission from Planet Zorg:

And this must be CGI stuff:

And this must be, I dunno, an airport with ticket kiosks that look like voting machines:

Live and learn.

You mean Rep. West? It wasn't the lines that contributed to West's defeat. He lost because he is a lunatic.

Why do Republicans object to making the voting process convenient?
