Mildly freaking out about long lines in OH

Everyone here knows what the asshole rethugs are doing, but do the blacks standing in line for 8 hours know it? God I hope so. The Rethugs are trying to steal this election by making people exhausted from waiting in lines. And of course,'the long lines are only in minority areas.

Fuck them. Fuck them. Let's pray these folks stick it out. Not concern trolling but just praying that these good people stick it out.

I'm an OFA volunteer but not in OH. Someone reassure me that OFA has enough staff at the precincts today and tomorrow to ensure that people know how important this is!

As a black person this makes me hate Rethugs more than I ever thought possible. These scumbags accuse us of voter fraud while they trash our registration forms and suppress our vote. Spineless little worms.

1. Early voting done in one location caused long lines (also due to hours being cut by Husted).

But tomorrow a lot of polling places should be open. Lines shouldn't be that long at all.

 
3. Will OFA get black voters to the polls on election day in OH?

Thank god we got the Sunday before elections restored so they could do "souls to the polls", but will they help transport people tomorrow? I know the transportation infrastructure is great in IA, I assume even better in OH. The polls show we have OH locked down if people turn out.

I remember the 2004 oh debacle with long lines. Hopefully this works.

we should start be ensuring our own citizens have the most basic right of voting.

I loathe the GOP manifest, but I just want them to lose so badly because of the vile UNAMERICAN tactics they are using.

they think they are entitled to everything, fuck them.

Hi,
If they had a decent product they wouldn't need lies and theft. I'm a buckeye and will vote for our president tomorrow. We shall prevail!

Some people in the long lines could have originally planned to vote for Romney, but get pissed off at the Republicans standing in the long line and change their vote.

That was the last time the republicans controlled Ohio's elections

I think the courts have mostly forced the GOP in Ohio to be normal. Mostly...
