Thread Name: BS: Bradley Effect and Voter Suppression
Subject: RE: BS: Bradley Effect and Voter Suppression
Well, in most state's the election is still in the hands of the Repubs... That's a bad thing at a time when the Dems are poised to knock them out and so...

... yeah, there are more schemes than can be addressed to supress Democratic turnout... Here in Virginia letters were sent out saying that the Repubs would vote on Tuesday and the Dems on Wednesday???

Yes, voter suppression is in full swing...

Even all these stories about having to stand in line for hoursand hours adds to voter supression... Voting oughtta be like it is in the rich neighborhoods... Half an hour at worst... But get into the poorer neigborhoods and it's 4 hours???

Where is the push for democracy here???
