   I can’t wait to see how the Republicans are going to re-brand this.

   Pretty much lays out the plan, doesn’t it?

   Seriously, as a foreigner, I really don’t get why you folks make it so darned difficult to practice democracy. I vote at every one of our elections, it is compulsory so everyone does it, but in over 35 years of voting, queues are never more than 10 minutes – not that I can recall the last time I had to wait.
   For once, Mr Ima is right: I don’t understand the USA.
   And please, no one play the party politics game, you’ve had this problem for a long time.

   We don’t have FEDERAL standards for voting; it’s all done on the state level. Last year, it was Republican governors in primarily Democratic states that were trying to address potential fraud using bad statistics (like, “Hey, there were more ballots cast than registered voters here!” when there where two sheet ballots where 51% turnout would be 102% of the voters in ballots cast). There are far too many issues that need to be on a federally standardized level rather than letting local politicians make and make up rules as they go along.

   I blame the elderly poll workers. They move too slowly to process you. It took me 30 mins to vote last time even though I was the ONLY voter in the entire precinct.

   Besides cutting voting days Republicans loaded up the ballot with 11 amendments to the state constitution, mostly from out of state interests. 8 amendments didn’t pass.

   No one in America is held back from legally voting. I got about 20 applications for ‘vote by mail’ and people (democrats) were walking door to door asking people to sign them without filling in their vote (don’t worry, the dems fill them in later for you).
   You demand that I can’t be political? But the libs can call names and do whatever political they want? You really don’t understand American politics. WE have a CHOICE.

   I stood in line for two and a half hours to vote. Considering what others went through/are going through just to have the right to vote, it didn’t seem so long.

   Me, I can’t understand why we haven’t either made Election Day a national holiday or moved it to the weekend. Having it on Tuesday is a relic of the 19th century.

    Sounds like you live in Michigan? Yeah, I got in the wrong line at first (BAD signage) but even at that I had my ballot in <10 minutes. ?Even having read the MSU non-partisan assessment of the ballot proposals ahead of time it took me longer to complete the ballot than it did to get it.

    disenfranchised or lazy?

    I waited over 2 hours to vote Holding my helmet and heavy leather jacket. The elderly and those in wheelchairs were brought to the front of the line.

    Considering the sacrifice that our serving men and women make every so I can vote, those 2 hours didn’t seem so bad…

    Miss Ima you’re truly an idiot if you didn’t see how many states with republican controlled government tried to lessen voter hours and pre-election day voting. Just more lame excuses from the little limp-wristed conservative crybaby.

    The corrupt republicans will now try to steal elections by making some blue states have proportional electoral votes or electoral votes that can be gerrymandered. Notice they think that’s good for blue states but not red welfare states.

    Please stop using MISS Ima. Are you implying that it is an insult to call someone a female?
