According to Rachel Maddow last night, early voting places in Ohio counties that lean Republican will be open more hours than counties that lean Democrat, specifically nights and weekends in addition to daytime hours. Basically, Ohio, a major swing state, is giving Repubs more opportunities for early voting than Dems. So much for equality.
Yeah, she's been covering this for a couple of days now. I'm hoping that the nation wide attention this is getting makes that idiot reverse his decision. Otherwise, I hope they sue his ass off.
Technically yes since his job is to be a tiebreaker vote but this is so blatantly bias that I'm curious if they're able to take it to court to challenge it.
Will they act before November or will it be the first thing on their 'to do list' come 2013?

The Democrats.Can't they keep their voting places open longer as well? If any laws are being broken(and it sounds pretty shady to me) I would think some local Democrats would look into the matter.

I don't think they can legally just decide to keep them open just "because". I know that democrats in those counties are PISSED though, so hopefully they'll do something about it or are already in the process of that.
I'm really happy we're seeing something that we haven't seen in a long time. And that's Democrats with balls. It seems our party has decided that they can't just sit back and hope the bullies stop being mean and has decided to get in the ring and fight the good fight. So we'll see..
Sometimes she is. Often she goes off about stuff when she doesn't have sufficient info. That happens a lot when all the media pundits are totally disconnected from the regions they're spouting off about.
