Margaret, it’s all over now. I’ve said all I can say about these asshats in the Republican Party. The fact that they would prefer to see fewer people voting rather than more should tell us all we need to know. They’re in it for themselves.
But now it’s up to the people. And there are a few Republican Governors who should be ashamed of themselves. Do a little research on Rick Scott and you will quickly find out Florida has a fox in the hen house.
Go out and vote. It’s important. If you don’t vote you’re no better than Scott and his Republican friends in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Their efforts are proof that Romney has never been about 100% of Americans.
I suggest we offer immigration reform in the form of an immigration exchange program. If you are caught trying to suppress or otherwise discourage voters, we can deport you in exchange for an immigrant who wouldn’t dream of taking democracy for granted. I mean it. Really.

Well my Dears I live in Florida and I am AMAZED that you know all about our ROTTEN Gov. Scott!!! I did work for the Obama campaign and the saddest thing I saw was on election day we all went out 1 last time to help get the votes. Well I worked in a low income ( okay black) neighborhood and there polling place was at least 5 miles as the crow flies. Now in my neighborhood there were 5 yes FIVE in a 2 mile stretch. I was so upset when I was working that neighborhood to learn they had to get over to my neighborhood to vote..WHY?? Okay Mr Scott answer me!! I met this very, very old black woman who chances are her grandparents were slaves, she even had pictures of Mr Obama up on her wall–can you imagine what he means to her? I ended up giving her my Obama button that I had ordered. She held my hands with her very tiny thin ones and just kissed them and thanked me so much, I had tears in my eyes. I then told her grandson to make sure she gets to the polls. See her grandson couldn’t vote because he has a Felony ( for DUI )..now when Gov Christ was in he was changing those to 2 TWO years, but good ole Scott has stopped it. HMMM I wonder why, do you think there might be to many young black men with very simple felony’s that could change the VOTES in FL???? I never knew about this till Election day..I sure learned an awful lot in that neighborhood that day!!!!

What with working and caring for my terminally ill husband, I was able to squeeze out only 2 hours at the Obama campaign office, but look what those 2 hours did!
Noah, you know darn good and well that PA brewed its own election troubles with its state legislative campaign to screw the vote with mandated photo ID for voters with the announced intention that it would definitely end up winning PA for Romney. To hell with all the other voters of any other party, not just the Democrats. You may also have heard how the Republican poll workers had been trained; i.e., to do anything to discourage voters standing in line by giving out false information on voting eligibility despite what the court said. Slow the vote and maybe a good number of people would just drop out of line and go home. As for those guys dressed up as Black Panthers, considering the “pranks” being pulled in the past two years, they may well have been paid actors.
And Mitch McConnell, professional troglodyte extraordinaire, obviously has not backed down one inch from his bigoted platform of obstructing anything, absolutely anything, that would promote even the most positive Obama legislation. This will hurt McConnell more than the President.
And say buh-bye to the all white male majority, mostly male, for the Republican Party. They really, really blew it with the parts of the populace that don’t fit the lilly-white construct the party depended on.

As for the rest, link your proof or it isn’t true. For the record, any intimidation or any other activity that endangers 1 person 1 vote is bad, no matter which side it is. The fact you are trying to justify the panthers actions based on what someone else did just shows how bias you are.
Voter ID is absolutely needed. 177 people in Minnesota alone were arrested for casting some 1900 fraudulent votes. Every illegal vote cast disenfranchises a legal voter. If you are truly for honest elections, then you should want to do everything we can to ensure it is so.

Although I managed to control my language I told her very calmly that if she tried to take a picture of my wife or me her phone would find itself in a place where daylight seldom penetrates.

And I think he governs by the same philosophy as a former great president whom he strives to emulate. This is the true spirit of our Founders, our nation and our future. I am sharing that former great president’s words here as an inspiration and reminder for us all:
“This is essentially a People’s contest. On the side of the Union, it is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form, and substance of government, whose leading object is, to elevate the condition of men – to lift artificial weights from all shoulders – to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all – to afford all, an unfettered start, and a fair chance, in the race of life. Yielding to partial, and temporary departures, from necessity, this is the leading object of the government for whose existence we contend,”

Will be voting as soon as I get the frost of the windshield! My husband of 44 years passed away on Nov. 1 from cancer that left his mental capacity unable to register for absentee but before that happened he definitely told me he favored Obama. Frankly, when I vote today it will be for both of us. Will not tolerate any slackers today! Get out there, people! Vote your ass off!

Your video is weak at best. Very misleading and such a pathetic attempt to equate what is happening in Florida and Ohio.

Best wishes to you, Helen & Margaret, and to all you bundled-up folks standing in line to cast your votes!
I voted by absentee ballot which I mailed Oct. 22. It should be there in plenty of time, as the average letter takes 10 days from South Korea to Maine, 14 time-zones east of us. (I *did* send it registered mail! Figured the intimidation factor was worth the Korean equivalent of 3 bucks.)

Sending both of you my love for being a bright spot in this long, tortuous campaign. Sending prayers to our President for a big win (so we don’t have to listen the the GOP whine tooooo much) and for strength for him to continue down the road he has been filling the holes in the last 4 years, and get the country all the way to a safer, saner, healthier, kinder, more secure nation.

In the lead-up to election day, polls were reported with their accompanying “margins of error”. Tomorrow night, the actual vote totals and electoral college projections will have to be tempered with a corresponding “margin of suppression”.

Bo, that’s on a lot of people’s minds. I wonder how Nate Silver’s method of analysis takes into account the potential of a Katherine Harris type environment in all the key states? We know darn well the rightwing wants to destroy Nate Silver and his methods.

Thank you Helen and Margaret for the sanity in this election season. You have given us a place to find others who think as we do and vent our frustrations. We needed you and we appreciate it!
For those of you who live in the hot/cold climates consider bringing extra water or hot chocolate, a bag of snacks, lifesavers….if the lines are long. Make sure your cell phone is charged. Don’t let them intimidate you. Google “voter intimidation at polling place” for more information. Know your rights before you go.
Good Luck!
Peace.

So proud of my girls who are all Obama supporters. My youngest turned 18 on Sunday, 4 years ago she knew that she would be able to vote this year, so she registered 3 weeks ago. I will be going with her tommorrow morning so she can cast her vote. We live in Florida and I want to make sure that nobody try’s to jerk her around or intimidate her. She knows what is riding on this election and she is so looking foward to casting her vote.

Yes, I am afraid that the ghost of Katherine Harris may end up haunting this election just as she did the 2000 post-election fiasco. The GOPers have become even more brazen in their voter suppression schemes this time around . . . I think it is a clear indication of desperation and that they know The Mittwit is going to lose if all votes are counted.

I will be casting my vote against Mitt Rmoney and Lyin’ Ryan tomorrow morning, bright and early. It will be freezing cold and could take a while but I don’t care. I can’t wait for this to be over. Ah, to be able to answer the phone again! Sadly, the last minute shenanigans could drag this out a while. Why isn’t election reform a priority until the last few months before an election? Is it too much to ask to implement reform with enough time to avoid disenfranchisement of legitimate voters? One has to wonder about the timing.
My business trip to NJ tomorrow was cancelled because of the storm damage. I’m relieved and glad that I won’t be using gas someone else needs and using a warm hotel room someone else wants. I’m also glad I won’t be worrying about getting back home when the next storm rolls in later this week.

Thank you Helen! I thank you so much in behalf of all people who yearn for truth and justice for all. It is disheartening to learn that in the land of freemdom and liberty, people are not able to speak their mind a make their own informed choice at the voting booth. If corruption and voter suppression are to be resorted to in order for one party to win, I believe that we are descending into the abyss. What about knowing within your own self that without cheating you would not have won? I would most certainly hang my head in shame if I were such a candidate and the beneficiary of such unspeakable actions. Here is hoping that truth will win over darkness. Thanks again Helen and Margaret for this election season! You have done the best you could for all of us, regardless of persuasion.
