Clinton is promoting extending the time allowed for early voting.

Interesting the issue seems to be raising it head in the battleground states.

For clarity, did any of us, "back in the day" (BITD) when there was one election day, did any of us or even the politicians complain that our right to vote was being surpressed? Of course not.

And BITD if one could not prrove or verify proof of registration one was not allowed to cast a vote. Was there an outcry of voter infringement or surpression or what ever other fancy name assigned today? Of course not.

So now all of a sudden 2 weeks early voting is insufficient????
In our electronic age of instatnt evrything we need 2-3 weeks to do what used to be habdled overnight in one day with manual systems?

It is subjects like this proposed by politician/lawyers and lawyers foe every other special interest group, that just SMELLS!!!

Add to the above the subject of illegals being allowed to vote and stiffer voter identification......the smell just gets stronger.

Forget party affiliation and offer an opinion. Mine is the right to vote is being bastardized to a point where it is approach complete lack of validity or confidence.

The more time you have, the more times you can vote.

The OP stated that illegal immigrants are being allowed to vote. I would really like him to provide evidence this is happening in national elections AND, if so, to what percent of the total votes.

There have been investigations of the rumors, even here in Florida, where they did find evidence of a single foreign voter....A Canadian.

Much has been made about this however the reality, when doing a study, voter fraud is minuscule.

As for early voting comments before this post.... We don't live in the 50's and 60's any more. Had there not been early voting I could never have voted as a traveled every week for my job, note I didn't trust the mail in ballot due to some issues in my home state. Early voting also cuts down the lines on election day. We should all be able to vote in the elections!!

If we want to go back to the earlier days move election day to Saturday when most of workforce have the day off.

I most certainly did not say the highlight above!

For clarification please READ what was stated:

Another example of ready, fire, aim!

"Add to the above the subject of illegals being allowed to vote'" It sure sounds as though you are saying that illegal immigrants are being allowed to vote. If you did not say that - what are you saying? I, like the others, would like to know the statistics on illegal immigrants voting in national elections. Please provide evidence of the statement.

The OP never ever, not once said anything but refer to "subject of illegal voting", AND IT IS A SUBJECT and a movement.

You, and the "others" will need to sharpen your reading skills and back down on simply looking for attack points.

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.

Thank you for saving me the keystrokes.

Even after calling their error to their attention....one they do not get it. Two they do not comprehend. Three they saw the attack words needed and that was sufficient.

I must say, I have also been noting a real lack of reading comprehension skills on this forum. Please, folks, lay done your partisan cap and replace it with your thinking cap before responding to someone's post!

You would think that as an important, vital and privilege voting is that American citizens would treat it as a protected species. but instead we find politicians who abuse corrupt and otherwise manipulate our voting systems

The voting system and the free press are essential for a free democracy to exist and both have been so badly corrupted that unless we regain our senses anarchy is going to raise its ugly head
