Is there anything more dispicable in politics than the republican party?

You conspiracy kooks deserve Obama. You deserve his plan for your country and you deserve him. You deserve to see his policies bankrupt the country. You deserve the "level playing field" he espouses. You deserve to have your hard earned bounty given to the less fortunate. Mostly, you deserve to have a large proportion of the population sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

All while "the amateur" flits around the country, his well nourished Wife vacations and his kids attend private school. Nice job, Kool-Aid ingesters, nice job.

This one is shameless even by Republican standards: They're wrapping in patriotism an otherwise naked attempt to give a constituency that they believe favors them an extra opportunity to vote. Different deadlines imperil the democracy that soldiers defend.

Republicans are only interested in power even if it means violating the Constitution and the most fundamental right to vote. In this country, voting should be treated like our priorities in the justice system - we would rather let 10 guilty people go free than incarcerate one innocent person. We should prefer that 10 people vote fraudulently than to deny one legitimate citizen his or her right to vote! All the photo ID stuff is designed to do the opposite - deny 10 (minority, poor, elderly, student) citizens their vote so that one rich (and/or racist) white guy's vote counts 10 times as much.

If photo ID is so necessary - FIRST get the system in place to insure that EVERY legitimate citizen has the necessary ID, THEN implement the photo ID laws.

Mitt is going to win so it doesn't matter

I think EVERY eligible voter should be mailed a ballot with free return postage regardless of party affiliation. The outer envelope should be signed with a thumb print. The technology is available and cheaper than opening early voting and polling sites. No disenfranchised voters, no dead voters, no duplicate voters, no hanging chads. This would come closer to the spirit of a representative democracy than our current system that is fraught with human error, deceit and fraud.

yeah. again, you libs don't want the military to vote. reason: they are going for romney. there has been all ready voter fraud with the military. wis for one.You complain voter surpression with trying to get voter ID cards and saying it will hurt the minorities or elderly. what crock. but, I don't hear any crying or primal screaming about the military being disfranchised. so stfu you obama pimps.

oh, and one more thought. you are going to scream.."recount...recount...recount. " As riply woiuld say, "believe it or not."

Lib they needed a photo I.D. to get in the Democrat convention. If your to stupid to not have a photo I,D. then your not smart enough to vote!!!!!

What's with these filthy republican's? can't they put on an honest election? I have never seen the likes of this 2012 election. Can it be told with a straight face, the only reason this is happening in the first place is becasue there is a good half black man and his family are not residing at 1600 Penn Ave. get over it scud heads, get over it.. Romney is a pure out right liar he's not fit to be president of anything let alone of this nation.. He's filth at its best..

Obviously, the fix is in for Ohio. It is also going on in Florida, with a consulting fim hired by the RNC to turn the election being fired after they got caught with illegal absentee ballots. Get out and vote as soon as you can in your state. Don't let them steal the election again. I heard all that I needed in the 47% talk where Romney thought he was not on camera. That he can be coached to give a good debate just does not be compared to be called a moocher at my age. Vote, or forever keep your peace.

FMR. FLORIDA GOP PARTY CHAIR: WE SOUGHT TO SUPPRESS BLACK AND LATINO VOTERS

In a series of stunning public confirmations regarding the Florida Republican Party, minorities and new voter ID laws, former GOP party Chairman Jim Greer confirmed that party strategists met on voter registration strategies with the intent to suppress Blacks and Latinos from voting in Florida.

The former Florida GOP Chairman said, “There’s no doubt that what the Republican led legislature in Florida and Governor Scott are trying to do is make sure the Republican party has an advantage in this upcoming election by reducing early voting and putting roadblocks up for potential voters, Latinos, African Americans to register and then to exercise their right to vote. There’s no doubt. I was in the room. It’s part of the strategy.”

Greer made the revealing confirmations last night on live television during an interview with Rev. Al Sharpton on his MSNBC show Politics Nation. His revelations were first revealed in a deposition in late July but yesterday was the first time he spoke on the matter on national television.

“It’s very sad what’s going on in the Republican party. It’s very sad the Republicans Party doesn’t want to win votes by talking about what it stands for. It wants to ensure that some people can’t get to the polls, can’t register to vote. Political strategists for the GOP can’t control what voters do in the voting booth but it can certainly try and control them ever getting to the voting booth and that’s what happened in Florida,” said former Republican Party Chair Greer in a stunning and revealing interview regarding Florida’s new voter ID laws.

When Sharpton asked Greer if he was in the room for strategic discussions regarding how Republicans could avoid a repeat of President Obama’s 2008 victory, Greer responded, “Absolutely.”

“In three and a half years as Chairman in Florida, I never had one meeting where voter fraud was discussed as a real issue effecting elections. Never one time,” Greer told Sharpton.

“It’s simply been created as a marketing tool here in Florida for the right wing that is running the state government now to convince voters that what they’re doing is right. It’s a marketing tool. That’s clearly what it is. There’s no validity to it. We never had issues with it. The main purpose behind it is to make sure that what happened in 2008 never happens again,” Greer bluntly said to Sharpton.

“If that includes keeping voters from voting — keeping voters from registering — that’s what the GOP led government here in Florida is gonna do,” Greer added.

Sharpton asked Greer if he was just striking out at old political enemies with his public revelations, Greer indicated that anyone who tells the truth will be retaliated against by political consultants.

“The Republican Party in Florida and unfortunately in other parts of the country, is being run by pitch fork torch bearing mobs looking for a Frankenstein,” Greer said. “That’s not what America’s about,” he added.

“What people don’t realize is that winning elections now has become a multi-million dollar business,” Greer said indicating there is more money at stake in winning than every before.

FORMER REPUBLICAN: HOW I LEARNED THAT VOTER ID LAWS PUSHED BY THE GOP ARE RACIST

Democrats are frustrated: Why can’t Republican voters see that Republicans pass voter ID laws to suppress voting, not fraud?

Democrats know who tends to lack ID. They know that the threat of in-person voter fraud is wildly exaggerated. Besides, Republican officials could hardly have been clearer about the real purpose behind these laws and courts keep striking them down as unconstitutional. Still, Republican support remains sky high , with only one third of Republicans recognizing that they are primarily intended to boost the GOP's prospects.

How can Republican voters go on believing that the latest wave of voter ID laws is about fraud and that it’s the opposition to the laws that’s being partisan?

To help frustrated non-Republicans, I offer up my own experience as a case study. I was a Republican for most of my life, and during those years I had no doubt that such laws were indeed truly about fraud. Please join me on a tour of my old outlook on voter ID laws and what caused it to change.

Fraud on the Brain

I grew up in a wealthy Republican suburb of Chicago, where we worried about election fraud all the time. Showing our IDs at the polls seemed like a minor act of political rebellion against the legendary Democratic political machine that ran the city and county. “Vote early and often!” was the catchphrase we used for how that machine worked. Those were its instructions to its minions, we semi-jokingly believed, and it called up an image of mass in-person voter fraud.

We hated the “Democrat” machine, seeing it as inherently corrupt, and its power, we had no doubt, derived from fraud. When it wasn’t bribing voters or destroying ballots, it was manipulating election laws -- creating, for instance, a signature-collecting requirement so onerous that only a massive organization like itself could easily gather enough John Hancocks to put its candidates on the ballot.

Republicans with long memories still wonder if Richard Nixon lost Illinois -- and the 1960 election -- thanks to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s ability to make dead Republicans vote for John F. Kennedy. For us, any new report of voter fraud, wrapped in rumor and historical memory, just hammered home what we already knew: it was rampant in our county thanks to the machine.

And it wasn’t just Chicago. We assumed that all cities were run by similarly corrupt Democratic organizations. As for stories of rural corruption and vote tampering? You can guess which party we blamed. Corruption, election fraud, and Democrats: they went hand-in-hand-in-hand.

Sure, we were aware of the occasional accusation of corruption against one or another Republican official. Normally, we assumed that such accusations were politically motivated. If they turned out to be true, then you were obviously talking about a “bad apple.”

I must admit that I did occasionally wonder whether there were any Republican machines out there, and the more I heard about the dominating one in neighboring DuPage County, the less I wanted to know. (Ditto Florida in 2000.) Still, I knew -- I knew -- that the Dems would use any crooked tool in the box to steal elections. Therefore America needed cleaner elections, and cleaner elections meant voter ID laws.

Doesn’t Everyone Have an ID?

Every once in a while I’d hear the complaint -- usually from a Democrat -- that such laws were “racist.” Racist? How could they be when they were so commonsensical? The complainers, I figured, were talking nonsense, just another instance of the tiresome PC brigade slapping the race card on the table for partisan advantage. If only they would scrap their tedious, tendentious identity and victim politics and come join the rest of us in the business of America.

All this held until one night in 2006. At the time, my roommate worked at a local bank branch, and that evening when we got into a conversation, he mentioned to me that the bank required two forms of identification to open an account. Of course, who wouldn’t? But then he told me this crazy thing: customers would show up with only one ID or none at all -- and it wasn’t like they had left them at home.

“Really?” I said, blown away by the thought of it.

“Yeah, really.”

And here was the kicker: every single one of them was black and poor. As I’ve written elsewhere, this was one of the moments that opened my eyes to a broader reality which, in the end, caused me to quit the Republican Party.

I had no idea. I had naturally assumed -- to the extent that I even gave it a thought -- that every adult had to have at least one ID. Like most everyone in my world, I’ve had two or three at any given time since the day I turned 16 and begged my parents to take me to the DMV.

Until then, I couldn’t imagine how voter ID laws might be about anything but fraud. That no longer held up for the simple reason that, in the minds of Republican operators and voters alike, there is a pretty simple equation: Black + Poor = Democrat. And if that was the case, and the poor and black were more likely to lack IDs, then how could those laws not be aimed at them?

Whenever I tell people this story, most Republicans and some Democrats are shocked. Like me, they had no idea that there are significant numbers of adults out there who don’t have IDs.

Of course, had I bothered to look, the information about this was hiding in plain sight. According to the respected Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law, 7% of the general voting public doesn’t have an adequate photo ID, but those figures rise precipitously when you hit certain groups: 15% of voting age citizens making less than $35,000 a year, 18% of Americans over 65, and a full quarter of African Americans.

A recent study by other researchers focusing on the swing-state of Pennsylvania found that one in seven voters there lack an ID -- one in three in Philadelphia -- with minorities far more likely than whites to fall into this category. In fact, every study around notes this disparate demographic trend, even the low-number outlier study preferred by Hans van Spakovsky, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s voter “ integrity” activist: its authors still found that “registered voters without photo IDs tended to be female, African-American, and Democrat.”

The “R” Bomb

The more I thought about it, the more I understood why Democrats claim that these laws are racist. By definition, a law that intentionally imposes more burdens on minorities than on whites is racist, even if that imposition is indirect. Seeing these laws as distant relatives of literacy tests and poll taxes no longer seemed so outrageous to me.

After I became a Democrat, I tried explaining this to some of the Republicans in my life, but I quickly saw that I had crossed an invisible tripwire. You see, if you ever want to get a Republican to stop listening to you, just say the “R” word: racism. In my Republican days, any time a Democrat started talking about how some Republican policy or act was racist, I rolled my eyes and thought Reagan-esquely, there they go again …

We loathed identity politics, which we viewed as invidious -- as well as harmful to minorities. And the “race card” was so simplistic, so partisan, so boring. Besides, what about all that reverse discrimination? Now that was racist.

We also hated any accusation that made it sound like we were personally racist. It’s a big insult to call someone a racist or a bigot, and we loathed it when Democrats associated the rest of us Republicans with the bigots in the party. At least in my world, we rejected racism, which we defined (in what I now see as a conveniently narrow way) as intentional and mean-spirited acts or attitudes -- like the laws passed by segregationist Democrats.

This will undoubtedly amaze non-Republicans, but given all of the above, Republican voters continue to hear the many remarkably blunt statements by those leading the Republican drive to pass voter ID laws not as racist but at the very worst Democratist. That includes comments like that of Pennsylvania House majority leader Mike Turzai who spoke of “voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania: done.” Or state Representative Alan Clemmons, the principal sponsor of South Carolina’s voter ID law, who handed out bags of peanuts with this note attached: “Stop Obama’s nutty agenda and support voter ID.”

Besides, some would point out that these laws also affect other people like the elderly (who often vote Republican) or out-of-state college students (often white) -- and the latter would make sense as a target, because in the words of New Hampshire House leader Bill O’Brien, that’s the age when you tend to “foolishly... do what kids do”: “vote as a liberal.” And yes, this might technically violate the general principle that clean elections should include everyone, but partisans won’t mind the results.

This makes me wonder how bothered I would have been had I known how committed Republican strategists are to winning elections by shrinking the electorate rather than appealing to more of it. I did certainly harbor a quiet suspicion that, to the extent we were the party of the managerial class, we were inherently fated to be a minority party.

The Safety Valve

Another key reason why Republican voters see no problem with these laws is their big safety valve: if you don’t have an ID, well, then, be responsible and go get one!

If, however, Republican voters are generally unaware of the high frequency of minorities, the poor, and the elderly lacking IDs, they are blissfully ignorant of the real costs of getting an ID. Yes, the ID itself is free for the indigent (to comport with the 24th Amendment’s ban on poll taxes), but the documents one needs to get a photo ID aren’t, and the prices haven’t been reduced. Lost your naturalization certificate? That’ll be $345. Don’t have a birth certificate because you’re black and were born in the segregated south? You have to go to court.

Similarly, Republican voters -- and perhaps most others -- tend not to be aware of how hard it can be to get an ID if you live in a state where DMV offices are far away or where they simply aren't open very often. One can only hope that would-be voters have access to a car or adequate public transportation, and a boss who won’t mind if they take several hours off work to go get their ID, particularly if they live in, say, the third of Texas counties that have no ID-issuing offices at all.

I doubt that most Republican voters know that some Republican officials are taking steps to make it even harder to get that ID. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, to take an example, signed a strict voter ID law and then made a move to start closing DMV offices in areas full of Democrats, while increasing office hours in areas full of Republicans -- this in a state in which half of blacks and Hispanics are estimated to lack a driver’s license and a quarter of its DMV offices are open less than one day per month . (Sauk City’s is open a whopping four times a year.) Somehow I doubt that this is primarily about saving money.

What To Do?

One reason why voter ID laws are so politically successful is that they put Democrats in a weak position, forcing them to deny that in-person voter fraud exists or that it’s a big deal. Republican voters and media simply won’t buy that. It doesn’t matter how many times the evidence of the so-called threat has been shown to be trumped up. It’s a bad position to be in.

Providing examples of Republicans committing fraud themselves -- whether in-person or, as in Massachusetts and Florida, with absentee ballots (a category curiously exempted from several of the Republican-inspired voter ID statutes) -- won’t provide a wake-up call either. Most Republican voters will shrug it off by saying, essentially, “everybody’s doing it.”

If we can’t talk about race, and Republican voters insist that these laws really are about fraud, then maybe Democrats should consider a different tack and embrace them to the full -- so long as they are redesigned to do no harm. IDs would have to be truly free and easy to obtain. The poor should not be charged for the required documentation. More DMVs should be opened, particularly in poor neighborhoods and rural areas, and all DMVs should have evening and weekend hours so that no one has to miss work to get an ID.

To be sure that the laws do no harm, how about mobile DMV units that could go straight to any area where people need IDs? Nursing homes, churches, senior centers, you name it. They could even register people to vote at the same time. Now that would be efficient -- and democratic.

No, wait, I’ve got it: How about a mandatory ID card? Every American would receive a photo ID as soon as he or she turns 18. That’s it! A national ID card!

Then voter ID laws would be the perfect thing, because we all want clean elections with high voter turnout, don’t we?

Something tells me, though, that Republicans won’t go for it.

Republican voter suppression and voter fraud.

Republicans are crooks they do this every time.

Ohio GOP Admits Early Voting Cutbacks Are Racially Motivated

This month Ohio Republicans were limiting early voting hours in Democratic counties, while expanding them on nights and weekends in Republican counties.

In response to the public outcry, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, who intervened in favor of limiting early voting hours in Democratic counties, issued a statewide directive mandating uniform early voting hours in all eighty-eight Ohio counties. Husted kept early voting hours from 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays from October 2 to 19 and broadened hours from 8 am to 7 pm from October 22 to November 2. But he refused to expand early voting hours beyond 7 pm during the week, on weekends or three days prior to the election (which is being challenged in court by the Obama campaign)—when it is most convenient for many working Ohioans to vote. Rather than expanding early voting hours across the state, Husted limited them for everybody. Voter suppression for all!

The Fleecing of Florida : Romney and Nathan Sprouls Suppressing Votes in Florida

Along with it, a criminal election fraud complaint has now reportedly been filed with law enforcement in the state of Florida against a Republican firm, owned by a paid Mitt Romney consultant, which was hired by the GOP to carry out partisan voter registration operations in at least five battleground states.

Millions of dollars were spent on the aborted effort by the GOP over the last two months — their largest single expenditure in several of the states where the scheme was in full tilt — to seek out Romney supporters only, and sign them up to vote.

The strategy resulted in (or included) fraudulent registration forms collected by the firm and then submitted in Florida by the state GOP with voter addresses, signatures and party affiliations changed.

the scheme could result in the disenfranchisement of a still-unknown number of otherwise legal voters, and they are taking extraordinary measures to try and contain the potential damage as they attempt to work through more than 45,000 new and updated registrations submitted by the GOP and verify their legitimacy.

Despite Court Order, At Least Five Pennsylvania Counties Still Telling Voters They Need ID To Vote

Last week, a Pennsylvania court mostly suspended that state’s voter ID law for the upcoming election. Under the court’s order, voters will still be asked for ID at the polls, but they will still be able to cast a regular ballot — not a provisional ballot — if they are unable to show it.

Yet, despite this court order, at least five Pennsylvania county websites still falsely inform voters that they need to show ID in order to cast a regular ballot:

Butler County: Butler County’s website still tells voters that “[s]tarting with the November 2012 general election, Pennsylvania requires voters to show an acceptable photo identification to vote at the polls.”

Bucks County: Bucks County’s website falsely claims that “[i]f you do not have a photo ID or are indigent and unable to obtain one without payment of a fee, you may cast a provisional ballot, and will have six days to provide your photo ID and/or an affirmation to your county elections office to have your ballot count.”

Perry County: Perry County echoes Bucks County’s false statement that voters without IDs will only be able to cast provisional ballots.

Luzerne County: Luzerne County’s website is similarly incorrect, also falsely claiming that “ALL voters will be required to show a photo ID before voting at a polling place.”

Delaware County: Delaware County’s website falsely claims that “Pennsylvania law now requires voters to show approved photo ID to vote at the polls.”

In addition to these five county websites, at least one state university — West Chester University — falsely informs its students that they “MUST present one of the following forms of PHOTO ID when [they] go to their poll place to vote in the General Election this November 6, 2012.”

Freedom isn't free and If mainstream American doesn't think they have to keep vigilant about preserving those freedoms.. if they think that there aren't other Americans in this country who would love to see you lose your freedoms and think they wont try and put a person in office they think will discriminate against you but not them.. take a good long hard look at the present day GOP certain rich corporations the religious far right fringe.. before it's too late.

Vote Obama/Biden

One hopes that that the US Justice Department get more involved in this very UnAmerican Acts being committed by the GOP/RNC. It is really sad that our nation is still debating this issue in 2012. One wonders what Dr. King would be saying about this now? It is time for arrect warrants to be processed to all GOP/RNC "Crazy Conservative Criminals" who had been or are still participating in illegal voter suppression. They are clearly in violation of the Voters Rights Act Of 1965. Read this Act very closely America! One thinks that many fellow citizens with come to the same conclusion. Putting up any messages of any type of voter suppression is clearly stated in the Voters Rights Act Of 1965. This is an issue that should not even be one!

Another CEO Suggests Jobs At Stake Unless Employees Vote Romney

Just last week, billionaire Westgate CEO David Siegel came under fire after it was revealed he demanded his employees vote for Mitt Romney in November, even threatening to downsize the company if they did not oblige.

Arthur Allen of ASG Software Solutions, a Florida-based software firm, reportedly urged more than 1,000 employees to cast their ballot for the GOP ticket, even suggesting their jobs would be at stake if Romney does not win.

According to a report from MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, who obtained a copy of the email, Allen says massive cuts and layoffs would occur if President Barack Obama is reelected. The reelection would ostensibly cause the business to downsize or be purchased by a larger company.

"We have been able to keep ASG an independent company while still growing our revenues and customers. But I can tell you, if the U.S. reelects President Obama, our chances of staying independent are slim to none," Allen reportedly wrote. "If we fail as a nation to make the right choice on November 6th and we lose our independence as a company, I don't want to hear any complaints regarding the fallout that will most likely come.”

The subject of the email in question, sent on Sept. 30, asks: “Will the US Presidential election directly impact your future jobs at ASG? Please read below.”

Allen did not return Hayes’ multiple requests for comment, according to the report. ASG Software Solutions did not immediately return the International Business Times’ request for comment.

The following is a full transcript of the email, as provided by MSNBC.

Subject: Will the US Presidential election directly impact your future jobs at ASG? Please read below.

To all ASG employees,

We have been stuck in an extremely sick global economy, but as we should all know by now, the global economy largely depends on the US economy. This sick global economy has been negatively influencing ASG since December 2008. No one could have ever have dreamed that the US economy would still be sick 4 years later, but it is. We have a chance, as individuals, to help turn the sick US economy into a healthy economy, and positively influence the global economy as well. This chance comes on November 6th, when we elect a new President and administration. The US and the world need to elect individuals who have business experience. Neither the world nor the US can stand to elect politicians any longer. In my view, and in the view of most business leaders, if you give politicians 100 questions, they will give you back 100 wrong answers simply because they have no basis for making those decisions. Would you hire a person with no experience to do brain surgery? Of course not, but that's what the US voters did in 2009. Why does the world keep hiring politicians to run our global economies when they have no experience? It just makes no sense, and yet the world keeps doing it over and over again. Let's take the lead on November 6th and show the world how it should and can be done.

Many of you have been with ASG for over 5, 10, 15, and even 20 years. As you know, together, we have been able to keep ASG an independent company while still growing our revenues and customers. But I can tell you, if the US re-elects President Obama, our chances of staying independent are slim to none. I am already heavily involved in considering options that make our independence go away, and with that all of our lives would change forever. I believe that a new President and administration would give US citizens and the world the renewed confidence and optimism we all need to get the global economies started again, and give ASG a chance to stay independent. If we fail as a nation to make the right choice on November 6th, and we lose our independence as a company, I don't want to hear any complaints regarding the fallout that will most likely come. Remember, in the world of business, companies are consolidators or they get consolidated; so far ASG has been a consolidator, completing over 60 acquisitions in our 26 year history. When we buy a company, we eliminate about 60 percent of the salaries of the employees of that company. If we lose our independence and get consolidated, the same thing would happen to ASG's employees.

I am asking you to give us one more chance to stay independent by voting in a new President and administration on November 6th. Even then, we still might not be able to remain independent, but it will at least give us a chance. If we don't, that chance goes away.

I apologize for writing such a blunt email, but for those of you who have known me for years and years, you know that this must be serious, and it is. I am going to follow this email with an email to All Sales, offering all of our help to assist them in making Q4 the best quarter in ASG history. Business is hard to find, but it is out there if Sales just goes and gets it.

Mr. Allen

Not at all shocked by these republican rats trying to lie ,steal,and cheat their way to power. They have nothing else.They are like a dying animal, just lash out at anything.They know with the changing demographics this is their last hurrah and they are very desperate. Every race, every demographic, and every one who is non-white, under 40 yrs old,non racist and not named Billy Bob or Cooter hates these idiots. These extreme azzwipes better change if the want to remain a leading party in the future, because the United States is already changing, check the data.

In 2004 the Bush campaign hired a firm run by Nathan Sprouls. It was paid $4 million for registering voters. It registered voters, both Republican and Democrat. But it was caught destroying the Democrat registration forms

In 2012 The Republican Party hired the same firm, but advised it to change its name, and is now called Strategic Allied Consultants. It is now being investigated for registering dead people, having bad addresses and names with similar hand writing. Florida found the evidence of fraud in one county and has since found the same scam in five more counties. Since the Florida finds, Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, and North Carolina have found the same evidence

The GOP has fired the firm. The GOP had paid it $3 million. This is the second actual voter fraud found, and by the same party that is so involved with preventing voter fraud.

Voter suppression is radically un-American and anti-democracy.

Republicans are undermining the very foundation of our nation.

Republicans lie, cheat and steal elections...that has been going on form the last few presidential elections and we all know it. The courts need to protect ALL citizens and put a stop to this. Everyone should have a right to vote and if it's okay in some states to vote early then so be it have it the same in all states let's stop taking the rights away from those who want to vote....

The news media needs to tell it like it is also and stop building up Romney to be something he's not...the man has flip-flopped on every issue that concerns us, sometimes flip flopped within hours of making a statement....what really does he stand for because American's need to really find out tonight and not let him get away with it. We do know though that he's not going to take care of 47% of us as when he didn't know anyone was listening he stated it...so you know ACTING compassionate and BEING compassionate is two different things and he does a great job acting! vote Obama 2012

A citizen's right to vote is almost sacred. People all over the world have died to gain this right. Yet, Republicans initiated an organized effort in recent years to deny this right to qualified voters. It doesn't matter what excuse they use, a true American would be working to encourage every American citizen who is at least 18 years old to vote. For what valid reason would anyone not want someone to vote? Absolutely none if they support democracy. But, Republicans would rather "win" than have a vibrant country. This stinks worse than the odor of a skunk.
