Why is it only in a "minority" neighborhood where such challenges would

You are asking the wrong person. You should be asking the RNC. They are
the ones targeting minority neighborhoods in Ohio and elsewhere.


And what's wrong with long lines? People waited 4+ hours to vote early.
This obviously wasn't a problem, so why is it suddenly a problem if you
have to wait in line to vote Tuesday because your precinct has more people
registered than you have living in the precinct?

I see no problem with requiring people to produce positive identification
in order to vote which shows that they live in the precinct that they are
showing up at.

This requirement would pevent multiple votes from being cast by one person
and is a very reasonable check and balance on the process.

I am asked for my D/L every time I go to vote. I can refuse and instead
swear out of affidavit, but I don't see why its a big deal to just produce
the ID instead. That request is a valid check and balance preventing me
from registering in more than one state and/or county in order to be able
to vote more than once, and I see no problem with it.
