"We don't want no stinkin' voter ID"!

Which in turn affects the voting results.. kinda odd how that plays out and all -- favoring the opposition in this ruling.

In actuality, it was the "Golden Week" that was disproportionately effecting minorities by giving them more time and making it easier for them to vote than anyone else, disenfranchising the rest of the state.

This ruling fixed that.

What it comes down to is this: Do these voting rules apply to EVERYONE, or ONLY to minorities?

If it's the latter, you've got a case. If it's the former, you've got nothing.

Does make voting schedule more confusing -- but the ruling would apply to all voters and in this instance it affects the minorities more for the reason I mentioned re their tradition after church, Souls to The Polls.

Okay, I will ask you what Barb asked me, how did it disenfranchise the rest of the state?

By allowing certain districts more time to vote than everyone else, and allowing them to do so with less scrutiny than everyone else.

 

[Caroljo]

Nope. You still haven't explained how it "disenfranchises" them. It doesn't. All they have to do is change their little routine...

I wonder if Addy would think differently if it were WHITE church's that bussed their people to the polls. I would think these libs would be against either black or white church's doing this...you know, seperation of church and state. They don't think that preachers should preach politics (which I'm sure many do...especially ones like Rev Wright God D*amn America), why is it ok that they provide rides for people to vote? Besides, the not being able to vote on Sunday afternoon is just something for them to cry about. I'm sure any church would set aside any other days/times to bus people to the polls.

And WHY they think these changes would ONLY effect blacks I have no idea.....

Good point. Or if only white districts got to vote early and were able to do so with less scrutiny. Then she would be screaming how racist the state was for disenfranchising black voters by making it harder for them than for whites.

So? Everyone should have an EQUAL chance to vote. They do. Or are you saying that if they didn't have busses to take them to the polls, they wouldn't bother voting? It's not our problem, they have the same chances to vote as anyone else.

Liberals don't seem to feel making it tougher to buy a gun is any violation of the 2nd amendment.

Why not a plan to make sure a person can only vote one time? Is that an unnecessary hardship?

 

[Addy]

No, a person should only be allowed to vote one time...

 

[Dino]

No, a person should only be allowed to vote one time...

But insuring that is a violation of the constitution. I get it now.

I was thinking last election in Ohio, voters had to wait in line for hours to vote..

Was that due to a very long ID verification procedure?

I agree. That was a miscalculation on the part of the district in setting up facilities. People who have to wait for more than 30 minutes should be outraged. It's the reason I always do early voting.

Not sure about Ohio.. but in Florida was evidently caused from -- fewer early voting days.

This is happening not because of a natural disaster or breakdown in machinery. It is happening by partisan design. Alarmed by the strong Democratic turnout in early voting in 2008, Republican lawmakers, including Governor Rick Scott, reduced the number of early voting days from 14 to eight

Kitsune (狐?, IPA: [kitsɯne] ( listen)) is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessingmagical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others—as foxes in folklore often do—other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives.

Foxes and human beings lived close together in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, aShinto kami or spirit, and serve as its messengers. This role has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance. The more tails a kitsune has—they may have as many as nine—the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make offerings to them as to a deity.

You need a few more tails, young one.
