Ohio bans Sunday and evening votiong

Yeah, these moves don't go unnoticed by young, intelligent people. It's shit like this and resistance to gay rights that are really going to doom the GOP long-term.

They had to cut back on poll workers' hours due to Obama's minimum wage increase.

Good one. I thought you would have gone with cutting hours due to Obamacare.
 
Safety. These are the least likely times for Black Panther members to intimidate white people at the voting station.

You're absolutely right. Republicans seem to have decided they have no chance of convincing people to vote for them, so they're determined to prevent them from voting. Dumb strategy. And totally transparent.
 
Can we get Beiber into Ohio before we give it to Canada and build a wall around it?

Priebus Doctrine. If you can't beat them, don't let them on the field.
 
Seriously, who can't take 30 minutes out of their day to be at a polling place during business hours? If it's not that important to you, you don't deserve to vote.
 
Can't people get around these issues by voting absentee? No problem with IDs or long lines.
 
It doesn't take 30 minutes in most places. Plus, what if you work miles and miles from your polling place?

Also remember, Ohio is infamous for closing lots of locations and putting fewer workers in the ones in lower income neighborhoods. They often have lines that are 2-6 hours long.

It's not at all like you say there.

There's only one reason for these action-to keep people from voting. The no Sunday is 100% to make it harder for black voters to vote. There isn't a possible reason other than racism. Everyone knows about black churches have sermons then going to vote.
 
It's one day. Make special arrangements. Pay a little extra for parking. If you can't make it work, there are billions of others around the world who would gladly step in to take your place and your vote. Show some goddamn pride in your country and get your priorities straight.

It's not that simple. In OH and FL in 2012 there were lines that lasted 4-6 hours. Lots of bosses won't like that.

It's not as simple as you are portraying it.

There's no legitimate excuse for changing it in this manner. It's a combination of voter suppression and out and out racism. The GOP in OH got their priorities straight.

I can't believe you are supporting such un-American actions.
