Msnbc reporting Sanders campaign can't get a judge to keep Ohio polls open

[flamingdem]

and there are long lines.

1. I don't know which state is worse Ohio or Florida?

[Cassiopeia]

2. Maybe the other other FL.

When I lived in VA I often refereed to it as the other Texas or Florida. Maybe Ohio is the other other Florida.

[appalachiablue]

26. I've lived in VA and FL, never Texas. They're nothing alike.

21. Kerry Won In 2004 But Ohio Gave It Away Through Disenfranchisement n/t

3. they why

did they allow bill clinton to shut down polling places in ohio?

[dana_b]

10. because it's good for Hillary!!

4. 21st century ?

Running out of ballots is something that should never ever happen. What happened to voter reform after the 2000 debacle? Where did all the money go to ? Diebold ?
Hope something gets figured out...Sanders votes hang in the balance.

6. Unbelieveable. We need mail in ballots as a minimum and another option

for people with poor postal services. Or we could beef up our postal service.

20. Last election it tended to happen on purpose in precincts the GOP thought would vote for Obama. nt

[Fawke Em]

5. How can they close when people are in line?

Even in red states they keep them open. Of course, we really never have lines, but OK.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. There must be a judge somewhere!

[flamingdem]

8. Brian Williams said this but no more information

I think Bernie supporters won't give up easily.

9. I thought the law was that if people are in line by

the close of the polls, they get to vote, however long it takes.

I hope they get a federal judge to enforce that.

11. If there are not any ballots, there are no ballots. That is the problem with paper ballots.

Different precincts may have different local candidates, that is why you can't go and borrow from another area.

[SheilaT]

13. Running out of ballots is despicable.

Here in New Mexico when I vote, the ballot is printed up as needed. Isn't THAT a novel concept?

[LiberalArkie]

15. Not really popular in machine states. That is away of controlling the votes.

[SheilaT]

17. Someone, maybe the ACLU, needs to

sue whoever is responsible for this garbage: running out of ballots, insufficient voting machines, and so on.

[LiberalArkie]

19. I agree, but the states control the elections and vote method.

[cyberpj]

23. And Ohio was an early partaker in electronic voting and tally transmission. Established power put

hackable machinery in all of the most important states first.

OHIO has been a known cheater state since GWB.

Why don't we just use colored disks and you put yours in a container and then they get counted by counting machines?
Like the coin machines at the bank.

Easy.
Fast.
Efficient.

Q: Sweet J., how can we not have forced provable nationwide voting processes by this point in history?
A: Because the powers that have control over such things will never make it easier or better.

[SheilaT]

14. And once they get down to

the last ten or so, why not photocopy some new ones? That technology has been around for more than fifty years.

[LiberalArkie]

16. I think all ballots have to be printed by approved printers. Although if they could find a judge to

allow it, then it could be done. But I do not think Bernie will find a judge.

[SheilaT]

18. Well, here in NM they just print them up

with high quality laser printers. What's so hard about that?

Other than, of course, a willingness to suppress voting.

[LiberalArkie]

12. Just have to hope that Bernie voters got there first.

[snagglepuss]

22. WTF

[corbettkroehler]

24. According To This, A Judge Intervened

25. They are citing "traffic issues". Is this county among those counties being kept open? (nt)
