Nothing drives voters to the polls more than cutting back on voting hours and days and requiring more identification. Just ask Gov Rick Scott who handed Florida to President Obama on a silver platter by doing just this.
Obama voters were waiting six, seven, eight hours to vote in the major cities, while others just gave up and went home when Scott would not increase the hours for voting, even though his predecessor Charlie Crist had done just that.
Of course, Obama would have won anyway in a landslide, but winning Florida was like the icing on the cake.
