(33,201 posts)when they deny people the opportunity to vote. If Kobach squeaks in, it will because they suppressed the vote just enough. Which is the plan.
I am tired of Dems needing 5%-10% more votes just to break even.

Through the tireless efforts of numerous volunteers and organizations in Dodge City, the need for transportation for voters appears to be sufficiently covered. We commend everyone who has been directly involved and who has remained engaged.
But Dodge City should draw our attention to a larger picture of the many roadblocks dropped in front of Kansas voters. It should compel us to remain vigilant. Voter suppression efforts take on many forms in policy or practice across the state.

Still, that's one polling place for how many thousands of voters? This is intentional voter suppression and the local officials need to be sued.
