REPUBLICANS SUPPRESSING THE BLACK VOTE 2012

Doug Priesse: Ohio Early Voting Process Should Not Accommodate Black Voters


An Ohio GOP election official who voted against the weekend voting rules that enabled thousands to cast ballots in the 2008 election said Sunday that he did not think that the state's early voting procedures should accommodate African-Americans.

"I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban -- read African-American -- voter-turnout machine," Doug Priesse said in an email to the Columbus Dispatch Sunday. "Let's be fair and reasonable."

Priesse is a member of the board of elections for Franklin County, which includes Columbus, and chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, on Wednesday ordered all 88 counties in Ohio to allow early voting Monday through Friday, until 7 p.m., during the final two weeks before the election. Weekend voting, however, will not be allowed.

Weekend voting helped 93,000 Ohioans cast ballots in the final three days before the 2008 election. Black churches promoted taking "your souls to the polls" events on the Sunday preceding the election, an option that will be unavailable if Husted's ruling stands. (The Obama administration has sued Husted to restore the final three days of early voting.)

Early voters in 2008 in Cuyahoga and Franklin counties were disproportionately African-American. A study by Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates found blacks accounted for 56 percent of all in-person early votes in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, while they accounted for 26 percent of votes overall. In Franklin County, African-Americans cast 31 percent of early votes and 21 percent of votes overall.

NEXT, if the republicans have anything to do with voting rights, only rich, white, male republicans will be able to vote. ...

SAY THERE MIKE, YOU STILL OUT THERE WEARING YOUR HOOD AND ROBE TODAY, WITH YOUR AUBURN UNIVERSITY BROTHERHOOD, burning crosses and such, while out instigating your all white republican race :help: :tiphat: :wave:

flounder, just a fish out of sea. If you aren't hacking it up in Bull Session your speading your hate on here.

How is it voter suppression if everyone has to play by the same rules. If someone is to lazy or stupid to go get an ID then they don't deserve to vote. If they can't read or write because they refused to learn it is their fault. We have not been a nation of sit around and get paid until recently. If you don't want to work then go homeless and starve. No one deserves a free ride. :shock:

I guess he hasn't figured it out that if he coddles one group he must think they aren't as capable. So that makes him a racist

All this reminds me of a couple years ago- just before the election the Repubs came out demanding that all the states Clerk and Recorders go back over their election rolls and double check address's on all the voters who had changed address's lately or who had absentee ballots-- which would essentially make them all reregister... The Repubs even filed suit over it... Their idea was that anyone moving often would probably vote Democrat- so they could get several Dem votes thrown out...


The SAD comedy of the situation was when it came out that the majority of those effected- and those that would probably not get to vote because of no time to reregister- was all the hundreds of Montana troops that were fighting and dying in GW's war in Iraq- or TDY National Guardsmen filling in for troops sent to Iraq... The ones that really should of had the first say at voting...

Well needless to say- the Montana Repub Party went to sucking wind - and dropped their suit fast (which was going to be thrown out anyway)- but will have egg on their face for some time over that one...

I agree with needing election laws and requiring voters to show ID- but the rules should be in place long before the election- and waiting til election time every year to change laws/rules or try to change laws/rules (which both parties do) for a political advantage should be stopped...

Letting illegals vote has nothing to do with one party getting the edge. They can't legaly vote, period.

You have no idea if that was their motive, just you painting the other party with the brush YOU want

So if a majority of voters nation wide support voter ID laws should that not be taken into consideration by judges and politicians. If a vote is taken and the Voter ID law passes should Dems that lost the battle be allowed to tie up the Majority's wishes in courts for years in each state that dares to protect their voting system? When does MAJORITY RULE in the US with the Democrats?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/08/12/National-Politics/Polling/release_116.xml?uuid=E1kPqOQZEeGJ93biOpgtBg

In this poll on Voter ID 74% of voters agree with Voter ID as 81% believe Voter Fraud is a major or at least a minor problem in the US.

And when asked which concern you more Voter Fraud or Voter suppression, Voter fraud wins the top concern in the US. 49% to 44% with 5% saying both

Kind of slaps the Dems in the face when they say there is no support for Voter ID as there is no voter fraud in the US doesn't it?

But then when asked To what extent, if at all, do you think SUPPORT for voter identification laws is based on genuine interest in fair elections
Great deal/Good amount 57% with 41% saying not at all


To what extent, if at all, do you think OPPOSITION to voter identification laws is based on genuine interest in fair elections
Great deal/Good amount 48% with 48% saying not at all.


What say you Oldtimer should Obama and Holder drop the lawsuits to stop Voter ID laws if they are voted on and passed by STATE VOTERS to protect the security of elections from those that would commit fraud to get their candidate the edge?

Personally I have no problem showing my ID to vote as if everyone is asked then I'm assured that only those LEGAL to vote are doing so and Dead people and illegals are not stealing my vote.

BTW did you heard Flounder the Dems Spokesperson against Voter ID in Penn. stabbed the Dems in the back by proving she as a 93 year old Black woman was able to get an ID that would allow her to Vote under the new Penn. Voter ID Laws? Yep she went right down to the DMV and they handed her a photo ID. So if a 93 year old woman can make it down to the DMV to get her FREE ID please explain why other blacks can't get down there and do the same thing? Or are they too busy standing in line at the welfare office to bother? :roll:

Like I said before if States would make a law saying these so called disenfrangized voters had to have a Photo ID to pick up their welfare checks they would no longer be a disenfrangized voters. As they would beat their butts down to the DMV like the 93 year old did and get their FREE ID. I have an Idea, we all know how some of these people like FREE STUFF so advertize the DMV is giving away something and they have to show up to see what they can get for FREE and they will all show up to get something for NOTHING. Their Photo ID.

OT the rules ARE in place and have been....BHO is the only one wanting to keep soldiers from voting. All others have more than enough time without having to wait on Saturday and Sunday. The law has been written. They know it...they can comply if they really want to vote.

We have a very small latino population- and back then it was even smaller...No - from the locations the challenges were filed from it was meant to go after college students and native Americans mainly, and union construction workers-- transient folks that were strongly voting Dem that year after the Bush Bust...

But the Repubs found they were sucking hind teat when many of the names they had challenged couldn't even come back and fight for their right to vote as they were fighting Bushs War(s).....
Then they backpeddled.. This is also the year the Montana Repubs decided that the average voter was not capable of choosing a candidate and to have a closed caucus instead of using the primary- and have the party leaders choose who should be the peoples candidates... Another major Boo Boo ....



ranchhand- I've posted several on here back when it was happening...
Heres one to the initial story when the Repubs filed the challenge...

How does asking for ID suppress the vote?


We have to show ID in Canada and we have the same voter turnout that you do in the US.

YOu would think our voter turnout would be less, by asking for ID, if the Dems. are correct, wouldn't you?
