Infographic: Ohio Voting Hours cut for Democrats, Extended for Republicans

[Designer99]

I don't care who you're voting for, all Americans deserve equal rights to vote. Ohio's Republican Sec. of State is extending night and weekend hours for Republican leaning counties and cutting hours to 8-5 during week days for Democrat leaning counties.

When you have to cheat like this, it just makes you look desperate.

They just picked which counties to restrict or expand based on the voting history? If so that's obviously wrong. If they chose based on voter turnout at certain times then, while perhaps politically incorrect, perhaps there is a logical basis for the decision.

Or....because Republicans are at work and...Oh wait...nevermind...I retract that because I cannot find the purple button...

Most of the voters in those blue counties probably can't tell time, anyway.

Not to doubt the OP, but the link provided demonstrates nothing as to the validity of his claims. If true, very worrisome, particularly if done due to political considerations, but OP just linked to a map, with no details related to his statement at all.

Given that Ohio just had their new voter law struck down, this wouldn't surprise me. The republicrats are scared and doing everything they can in Ohio to make sure they have as easy a time as they can get. From trying to get Johnson removed from the ballot to granting extra voting rights to a segment of the population inclined to vote for their side, they're trying their best to make Ohio a red state come election day. This will likely end up in front of a judge, if true and it'll get swatted down.

Ahh yes, the outright misrepresentation lie about military voting. Romney claims that Obama is trying to restrict military personal from voting, when in fact Obama is arguing that all Ohio citizens should also get the right to vote early. Total twist and mis representation on Romney's part. He's hoping people just read the headline and believe it as gospel. Sick.

Exactly, the Republicans are commuting to and from work. The Dems are all at home collecting benefits. Works for me.

Great observation.

Were there not some counties that had more registered voters than people living in those counties. The Dead do not have to commute to work.

At least you recognize that conservatives are cheating.

Only problem is that the republicrats and their traitorous republicrat governor, Kasich, struck the first blow. The dems, and the libertarians are getting shafted in the state. If this latest debacle is true then a judge will likely slap them down as the clowns they are.

I went to the OP's nutty little website (read the comments if you don't believe me) and the crisis is over. Not sure how long it actually lasted. If you actually read it and don't go by the headline you will find everyone is being treated the same.

Awesome, dose this mean that dead Democrats will stop voting in Chicago? How about it level. eleven

No. This law effects Ohio. Chicago is a city in Illinois, thus it is not enforceable by the executive branch in Ohio.

There might be a slight difference between outdated, inefficient voting systems that are not designed to keep up with deaths as they occur and outright stacking the deck for your team while restricting rights to the other. Just maybe.

There are people registered...and died, but did they actually vote? Do the math for a second. It would take thousands of people in an organized effort to vote multiple times as a dead person to make a tiny dint in the results.

This is the state of the country. A political party will try to blatantly cheat in front of everyone, and their followers see nothing wrong with it. Now that's integrity.
