A problem such as this happens all over the country, not just in Ohio disinfranchising thousands of voters. We all know it's about to happen again. I would not like my vote disqualified for that reason. Right church, wrong pew needs to change.

Project much? provisional ballots are a way to ensure an accurate vote count. It is ordered so no one is turned away. There are rules to follow, as a voter you must be aware and adhere.

"In Hamilton County alone, hundreds of votes are routinely disqualified in major statewide elections because they are cast in the wrong precinct, often only feet from the correct location."

You do realize that he reason *precincts exist* is for local level elections. If you start to let people vote in whatever the hell precinct they wish, or trip into, you can screw up someone elses alderman or council person election.

Jesus, how low do we have to set the bar for people to decide upon the most powerful job in the world?

No Bull, I'm with you 100%. I don't think three different precincts should be on the other side of the room. It's very, very confusing. I could see myself easily make the mistake and if the poll worker is not paying attention, the vote ends up in the wrong area. I agree, people should not be able to drop by wherever for whatever, but three different precincts should not be in the same small room.

Never confused me, and lets be real... If not this then it would be some morons going to the wrong building..

What should be done to poll workers who screw things up? maybe make it a crime...

Bull....they can't hardly get enough volunteers to work the polls as it is. If you make it a crime, you'll get no one to do it. Hell most of them are old retired people anyway.

It amazes me that we're so worried and up in arms that people too stupid to figure out how to get into the correct line, might get their vote disqualified. Geez........maybe we should have a democratic helper for each voter that accompanies them into the voting booth so their dumb ass doesn't make any mistakes. Hell, let's just let them vote 2 or 3 times to make sure they get it right. That suit you Vb?

What would suit me Creb is a polling station that is not confusing to anyone regardless of their age, race, sex or creed. Did it ever occur to you. Why don't we find situations like this in subburban areas? In most cases because the population is not as dense. It's done to confuse voters. It would have an effect if done in subburban areas too. Why do the Election boards (many times biased election boards) understaff central city districts? Can you tell me that? To ensure longer lines take place, discouraging people from voting. Would you vote Creb if you had to wait in line 2 hours? No of course not. That would most likely cause you to sweat and be uncomfrontable. You'd leave in 15 minutes. I know, your silly answer would be vote by mail, vote this way or that way. Sure I get it. Add this, now in the stupid state for which you live, you will need a picture ID. What if you don't have one? You wait in line 2 hours only to be told now you need more information or you may accidentially walk into the wrong line with the wrong ballet. Tell me now how many people want to vote in your community?? Let the opinion of the people rule the country Creb, not policitians who manipulate our thinking and voting. Wake up dude. May want to come out of your lilly white neighborhood for more than an hour and look around. No don't think that why, I'm white and catholic too.

Vb........ I live in a suburban location. When I go to the church to vote, there are 2 different precincts that vote there. I go to the listing of names, find mine in one of the 2 locations, get in that line and vote. Not rocket science.

Picture I.D. - considering how many normal everyday things require Photo I.D., like buy alcohol, cigs, cash a check, etc. - it's a good idea. EVERYONE can figure out how to get an I.D., period....... and if they can't then they're too stupid to vote anyway.

BTW, Cleves isn't exactly an urban setting..... pretty rural actually. That where you live - your location says it is. Do kids from Cleves go to Taylor or Harrison H.S.?

Are you saying some races, sexes, or religions are more easily confused than others? Ahh the soft racism of the left..

Quote:Did it ever occur to you. Why don't we find situations like this in subburban areas? In most cases because the population is not as dense.

I live in a suburban area where several precincts share a school gym.. So yes, this does occur in the suburbs. Pehaps because the reason this does not happen as often (*IF* thats the case) is that the people voting in suburbs don't expect the govt to spoon feed them everything.

Why would ones age, race, sex or creed make this more confusing?

Exactly why is it that we should believe that a person who can't figure out WHERE to vote should be competent to determine WHOM to vote for?

So now you want to keep American citizens? THen he wonders why there is such a big deal being made of people being disenfranchised. I guess we have learned all we need to know about 69.

Exactly. It isn't that hard to vote. You go in, give them your address if you don't know what precinct you are part of (although you should know because it is on your voters registration card, which you should have if you are legally registered to vote) and get the appropriate ballot for where you live. It is so easy to do I have done it multiple times!

Few if any are being disenfranchised by a photo ID requirement, the most obvious way to keep elections fair, except dead people, pets, and dead pets. Think of it this way......You want Obama to win. My vote cancels out yours but if I vote twice then YOU were just disenfranchised. But, to you simpletons, providing an ID when asked to prove that you are who you say you are is asking way too much. Oh, and about 70% of the population agrees that showing an ID should be the law in order to vote. Perhaps you far lefties understand that most on the right are honest and wouldn't try to game the system like your side does. You guys project your dishonesty on everybody else while you are doing exactly what you accuse the other side of doing.

By fighting against an ID to vote law, you are showing exactly what you value - theft of things YOU didn't earn, in this case, elections.

they go to taylor. i grew up in harrison. it's just about 99% white. cleves is probably 100% white. i think black people are actually terrified of going into cleves. a common sight would be a pregnant teenage mother pushing her baby down the sidewalk in a stroller while smoking a cigarette on her way to her brother's house (meth lab). that may be stereotypical, but it's not a secret that cleves is pretty trashy. but i'm sure there are nice people in cleves. the ones that work at the post office are nice
