FYI: sumter county election precincts reduced
did'jall see this in the daily sun:
Daily Commercial - <p>Sumter to cut precincts to save cash</p> "Sumter County hopes to save a lot of money by cutting the number of its election precincts in half -- from 46 to 24." |

Another vote suppression tactic?
When you add the reduction of precincts to; restriction on early voting; more stringent voter I.D. requirements for registration and voting; criminal penalty on third party to register voters (League of Woman Voters - Quit voter registration); you start to see a pattern of those in control of the states and county's machinery to suppress the vote. Especially the votes of the young first time voter, the elderly long time voter, the working poor with limited transportation. What would you do if you saw a long line at the polling place? Now wounder voters are just giving up on government.

as the article mentioned that it is being looked at in light of redistricting - perhaps - because of the growth of the villages population - there will be more polling places within the borders of the villages! |

Sounds Like A Good Idea To Me...
...a huge number of people vote early and this year you can even "phone vote".
I'm a lot more disgusted that there is so much public apathy that more than two dozen elections are completely uncontested. And most of those listed in the article have to do with the management of the Sumter County schools and the community representatives elected to make some pretty fundamental decisions for residents of The Villages. |

You can thank Sarah P for that loss, not the GOP in general
