Ohio is being sued by President Obama and his fellow Democrat party members. Why? Well, Ohio passed a law saying that voting has to take place on election day. Not the Saturday before, or the Sunday before, or the day before, but on Tuesday. If nothing else, the liquor stores don’t have to close for a week, if Ohio does that.
But why the big deal? The stated reason, as you can guess, is that certain demographics (all of whom curiously vote for the Democrat party), have trouble voting when it’s limited to one day.
An extended voting period is perceived as benefiting Democrats because it increases voting opportunities for those harder to reach for an Election Day turnout — Hispanics, blacks, new citizens and poor people.
Why would this be? Why is it necessary to “reach” them? What is the problem with people who consistently vote for the Democrat party? They have trouble getting ID, they have trouble voting on Tuesday, they seem to have trouble with a lot of things. Personally, on election day I take a nice walk a few blocks away until I reach the house where the voting takes place in some people’s garage. It’s a pleasant walk, a pleasant time at the polls, the only thing unpleasant is the results because I live in California and the state is whacked. I don’t have to be reached and I’ve never once voted on any day other than election day. It’s not difficult.
But then I’m not a member of the Democrat party.
