Report Warns Votes Will Be Suppressed in Key Swing States

They can't wait in line? I've waited to vote before. If you take your right to vote seriously, then waiting isn't going to stop you. Stop complaining and just do it.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE AT IT AGAIN TRYING TO STEAL THE VOTES JUST LIKE 2000

aah the true republican way to win an election.

I'm sitting looking at my absentee ballot here in FL, and Ohio has early voting that has already started. There shouldn't be a problem if you are smart enough to know how to vote.The problem is the people themselfs, there just not smart enough to know how or who to vote for.

Ex Republican

Trying suppress folks from voting "often" is more like it.

Acorn fruad=voter fraud.

Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago "community organizer" at Acorn's side. In 1992 he led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn's leaders for being "smack dab in the middle" of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for Acorn in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls.

During his tenure on the board of Chicago's Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to Acorn.

More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an Acorn affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for "staging, sound, lighting." It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote.

The only trick the republicans have, cheat the poor.

They will probably need a lot more machines - one guy in Ohio registered 73 times and of course all the Disney Characters have to vote in Florida.Go Acorn

Fewer machines and poll workers per voter is more than "extra waiting in line".
This year, hopefully there will be enough poll watchers to prevent the worst - or do we now need the UN to send in election fairness experts as in Third World countries?

samhiguchi, Did you wait for ten hours like some did in 2004? I doubt that.

They can't wait in line? I've waited to vote before. If you take your right to vote seriously, then waiting isn't going to stop you. Stop complaining and just do it.

******************************************** Did you wait for 8 hour? Like people did in Ohio in 2004?
Did you wait for 8 hours and give up a badly needed days pay and paying for child care on top of that?
Many of the people who had to give up and leave after hours of waiting, had to finally give up and leave with out voting were interviewed as they were leaving the polls.
Some were so disappointed in not being allowed to cast their vote, they were crying. But for some it came down to either voting or not having enough money to feed their children for the week. Some employers threatened to fire the employees if they didn't show up on time for work.

The people who were determined to stay until they could vote stood in line for 8 hours with no water.

Meanwhile in the Republican dominated districts of Ohio, there were plenty of machines and people were able to vote and get to work in 20 minutes.

So the Republicons will use the same tactics that have worked for them in the past and once again prove to us that, for them, personal power trumps Democracy every time!

Here's the mission statement of your "reputable voting rights group" called Advancement Project. Their goal is clearly to increase black voter turnout, who are 98% in favor of Obama. My guess is that they work together with ACORN.

"To develop, encourage, and widely disseminate innovative ideas, and pioneer models that inspire and mobilize a broad national racial justice movement to achieve universal opportunity and a just democracy!"

Mickey Mouse will have to stand in line!?

OMG...maybe someone should drive to all the black homes in the U.S., and cater to all their voting needs! I've waited for 30 minutes in line before!!!! Wait your dam turn!

***********************************************
The waits in the predominately Democratic districts in Ohio had waits of 8 hours in 2004, in the rain.

Newly registered and first time voters have to go to the polls to vote to show Id.

It is very interesting to see how quick the people are to jump in with their opinion who don't bother to find out what the situation is.

Did you posters even read the report? They are talking about 3-4 hour waits, with the ability to acommodate the last voter only if the polls stay open until 11:30 PM.

The whole ACORN debacle is the republican way of supressing votes.

There are so many irregularities in the election process and the ACORN process is not an exception. Colorado secretary of state the other day erroneously purged new voters out.

Republicans have nothing to run on.

So it's called voter suppression when you don't have enough machines to have near instantanious access to vote in a black neighborhood. What's it called when I have to stand in line and wait to vote????

The U.S. boasts of its freedoms and democratic system....and yet it treats its minorities like 2nd class citizens!
How embarrassing for a society that professes to fight for democracy!!
Im shocked these injustices are allowed to continue!!

Folks - We're not talking about a 30 minute wait. We're talking about between 2 and 5 hours, and as much as 7 hours in line waiting to cast your vote. That's what happened in Ohio in 2004 in minority precincts with not enough voting machines.

I'm lucky; I can afford to take an entire day off to vote. Many cannot. And if it's a choice between waiting 5 hours in line to vote and losing a day's pay (or your job), then it's not really a choice.

IDK have you ever waited in line to vote in California? If I can wait in line so can they.

Don't worry - Obama's campaign is flush with cash.

They have children singing his praise.

They have their own TV station plus the media in their pocket.

They vote early and often.

They will have the military vote thrown out.

Obama can buy the election.

Once elected - Obama, Pelosi and Reid (the three stooges) can change the rename of the Country to the United Socialist America.

Keep sending the poor government checks and make them so dependent they have no choice but to vote for you.
