Obama campaign sues Ohio over early voting law for military

Hidden posts just pique my curiosity even more.

Then hide all the posts where you and others bash fox news without proof and not just mine questioning why you keep the thread open.

I've already laid out why the article is biased, you can scroll back and read it. Do you have anything to say on the topic? Your pretending that you can force my hand is tiresome.

You have laid out why you BELIEVE it's biased. You have also laid out why you BELIEVE Fox News is biased (well not really). I don't buy either, like you don't buy Mike's or paperboy's reasoning.

Not quite sure how one could have strong feelings on the topic of a State issue such as this, but; it seems that the topic is far more intricate than any news article has made it out to be (at least the ones I've read). Seems like everything is just political play in terms of helping one party get votes (later "early" dates help Democrats, yet earlier "early" for all except the military help Republicans). So really this is nothing more than the typical political tug-o-war that happens usually around this same time. Quite frankly I can see why Republican's wanted the change in law and why Democrats want to block it. So while it may seem that Democrats are out to protect the rights of everyone, they certainly have ulterior motives as well.

I concur with that assessment.

I'm not aware of pols fiddling with voting procedures like this just prior to Presidential elections before; at least not to the degree which it has been happening recently, esp with voter ID laws.

It seems to me that Republicans trying to roll back voting eligibility is unprecedented in modern times, but maybe I've just missed when it happened in prior cycles by others.

You have any precedence on the other side?

lolol. holy shit. this man doesn't even know it's all vote fraud and citing only 11 documented incidents of one doesn't negate the existence of the others as much as he would like to try and convince us and himself

Vote fraud is illegal interference with the process of an election. Acts of fraud are used to change the outcome of an election to be other than it would have been without the fraud.
Commonly acknowledged types of vote fraud are:

Voter registration fraud
Dead people voting
Felon vote fraud
Absentee ballot vote fraud
Voter suppression
Voter caging and purging
Electronic voting fraud
Voter impersonation
Voting more than once

A series of laws passed in the past year by Ohio's Republican state legislature and Gov. John Kasich have waived the last three days of in-person early voting before Election Day for all but members of the military. Civilians now have until Friday, Nov. 2, to cast those ballots and must arrive at the booth before 6 p.m.

Republicans faulted the extra time for civilians as too costly for local governments and prone to fraud and abuse. Meanwhile, service members were exempt from the restrictions, allowing them to vote at any time before polls close, an extra three days without restrictions.

As previously reported by ABC News, the Obama campaign sued the Buckeye State last month to block those laws from taking effect, restoring weekend voting as it was in 2008. Democrats say those last days before Nov. 6 give a crucial extra cushion for Americans who might not have had the opportunity to enter the voting booth in the days prior. If the challenge is successful, they say, military voters would not see any difference in their rights.

Only someone who is disingenuous or truly retarded would suggest that voter IDs would prevent voter registration fraud (you see.. voter IDs are only used on polling days, not when signing up mickey mouses).

So which is it??

I do not. What (admittedly little) reading I've been doing about it points to early voting rules being quite different from state to state. I'm not sure if a comparable scenario has occurred previously.
