... ya gotta love it ...

Republican Illinois state House candidate Jim Moynihan was taken
aback
Monday when he intended to cast a vote for himself and the
touch-screen
voting machine instead cast a vote for a Democrat.

“While early voting at the Schaumburg Public Library today, I
tried to
cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my
opponent,�
Moynihan told the Illinois Review. “You could imagine my surprise
as the
same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote
for a
Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.�

Accordingly his faith in the balloting system of Cook County has
been
shaken, the Illinois Review reported.

While using the machine, Moynihan voted in various races on the
ballot
and noticed that whenever he voted for a Republican the machine
registered a vote for the Democrat opponent. He alerted the election
judge and demonstrated the error. Eventually, Moynihan was
allowed to
vote for himself and other Republicans.

“Clearly, I am concerned that citizens will be unable to vote for
the
candidate of their choice, especially if they are in a hurry and
do not
double check their ballot,� Moynihan said. “I cannot say whether
or not
this was intentional, but Cook County voters deserve better and
should
not have their right to vote suppressed.�

If this happened in Florida it would be a national story, not
something buried on an obscure boating news group.
I just watched 2 hours of TV news and didn't see a thing about it.


Voter suppression in Republican states is more sophisticated...shut
down
polling places where students vote, cut back voting hours and days
that
make it easier for blacks to vote, et cetera.

That is all bull****.
If you want to vote, request a mail in ballot and you can vote without
ever putting your pants on or setting down the bong.

There are early voting places all over the county with very flexible
hours.

It has never been easier to vote in Florida



I don't think the mail in ballots even require postage.


That is right, postage paid envelope in the package.
and once you register for a mail in ballot you have the opportunity to
check a box and get a ballot automatically in the mail for every
subsequent election, in case you forget there is one.

The idea that voting is hard or even obstructed in any way is simply
ludicrous. If anything, it is too easy.




You're leaving off the other half of voting...registration.


Pretty easy to do. Even if you can't do this, a third party can do it
for you:

Here's the postcard you can mail in to register to vote. Block six asks
for an "ID" number which could be a driver's license or Social Security
number.

If you don't have either, the instructions say to indicate that on the
card and your state will assign an ID number.

Really isn't very difficult. If you can't figure it out a third party
can assist you.

There's a state in this country that apparently "misplaced" 40,000 voter
registrations. Gosh, is it a state with a GOP governor?

Georgia...


Groups Sue Over Unprocessed Voter Registrations

October 10, 2014 19:53 pm

Groups siding with the New Georgia Project, which says it has obtained
voter registration forms for more than 86,000 new voters, filed a
lawsuit against Secretary of State Brian Kemp and five Georgia counties
over some 40,000 forms which it says haven’t been processed and don’t
show up in a list of people who are waiting processing.

The suit was filed Friday afternoon in Fulton County Superior Court.
Politico quotes New Georgia Project leader Stacey Abrams as saying,

“We hoped litigation would not be necessary, but with early voting
beginning next week, eligible Georgians are dangerously close to not
being allowed to vote in this election,” said state Rep. Stacey Abrams,
founder of Third Sector Development, NGP’s parent group. “All eligible
registrants should be processed immediately; provisional voting is not
an acceptable option,”

The Secretary of State’s office claims it is following the law. In
previous statements, Secretary of State Brian Kemp has said that all of
the applications have been delivered to the appropriate counties for
processing.

Advance In Person voting starts on Monday, and continues through Halloween.

It wasn't what we were talking about.


Even though the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court has paid off the GOP by
weakening the voting rights act, there still have been court cases
decided against states with Republican governors who restricted access
to registration and voting. Naturally, these restrictions please you
righties, because in some states, a huge minority vote would flip them
blue.

Yeah just what we need, more bankrupt states



Uh-huh, because non-whites, students, lower income people shouldn't
vote...because, well, if they do, the Republicans can't win. I get it
and so do millions of other Americans.

A lot of diversion Greg. Like boasting that supposedly right-wing manufactures make voting rigged to vote against the right-wing.

Fantastic logic there.
