Ohio is being sued<\/a> by President Obama and his fellow Democrat party members.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Well, Ohio passed a law saying that voting has to take place on election day.\u00a0 Not the Saturday before, or the Sunday before, or the day before, but on Tuesday.\u00a0 If nothing else, the liquor stores don’t have to close for a week, if Ohio does that.<\/p>\n

But why the big deal?\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

An extended voting period is perceived as benefiting Democrats because it increases voting opportunities for those harder to reach for an Election Day turnout \u2014 Hispanics, blacks, new citizens and poor\u00a0people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why would this be?\u00a0 Why is it necessary to “reach” them?\u00a0 What is the problem with people who consistently vote for the Democrat party?\u00a0 They have trouble getting ID, they have trouble voting on Tuesday, they seem to have trouble with a lot of things.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I don’t have to be reached and I’ve never once voted on any day other than election day.\u00a0 It’s not difficult.<\/p>\n

But then I’m not a member of the Democrat party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
