Let's face it, anything we do to prevent cheating suppresses the Democrat vote.
"Voter suppression" is a liberal euphemism which means "to eliminate vote fraud."

Its significant that the governors own overseer of elections, Secretary of State Kurt Browning, never once spoke in favor of the legislation. Only after Scott signed the bill did Browning offer a lukewarm endorsement.
The effort to manipulate elections by making it difficult for some people to vote has been around since the nation was founded. Its a strategy that was infamously codified in the Deep South by literacy tests intended to disenfranchise black citizens, which prompted the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Congressional Democrats have asked the Justice Department to block Floridas new law, which already took effect in all but five counties Monroe, Hendry, Hardee, Collier and Hillsborough. There the federal government must approve changes to voter-eligibility rules.
In addition to impeding potential Democratic voters, Republicans lawmakers have tacked several items on the November 2012 ballot in hopes of galvanizing their own base. Youll see an anti-abortion amendment, an anti-Obamacare amendment and still another measure that would allow tax dollars to be funneled to religious institutions.
The GOPs dream scenario is a low turnout dominated by a grumpy, aging core of conservative white people who cant stand Obama. With their party outnumbered on Floridas voter rolls, top Republicans hope that rigging the voting rules will improve their chances to recapture the White House.
You could call it democracy with selective exclusion.
Or you could call it what it is.
I don't know why they are not eliminating it completely there is no Constitutional standing that gives any person the right to vote early. with one exception absentee ballets.
Budget
Bullshit. Most early voting centers are at the Elections offices or at city halls (which are already staffed). Try again.
More early voting is cheaper. 100% vote by mail would be the least expensive if the budget were actually the concern.
Most early voting start on Saturday I think the staff is at home on the weekend.

So instead of closing on Saturday, they reduce the time by weeks? Sorry, doesn't make sense.

Indeed there is no logical or objective explanation for these measures other than as stated in the article.

State lawmakers may pass any legislation they wish including extended voting hours/days and these measures are presumed to be Constitutional until such time a Federal court or the Supreme Court say otherwise.
Unless you can cite a case enjoining Florida or any other state from early voting as un-Constitutional, your argument has no factual standing.

Working at city hall and the election boards on Saturday is not a normal work schedule. And closing the doors early doesn't happen.
What is the justification for reducing the number of early voting days?
What's the justification for having early voting in the frst place? Is it Constitutional?

The justification is so that the peoples voice is heard.
Yes it is perfectly constitutional.
There is no hope for the people on the right who frequent sites like this.
They do not care about democracy.
I have spent years on the internet and have had to give these people the definition of the word and explain to them that YES we are a democracy.
They refuse the undeniable court documented history of the republikcan partys attempts to keep legal American voters from voting.
Its in the case papers and judges have outlined the many infractions over the decades.
These people just dont care.
They like it and defend it.

I didn't say it was. I said: "Don't open on Saturday", period. The city halls and election offices ARE staffed Monday through Friday. Why not make early voting available during their normal working hours? Why reduce it for an entire week instead of just not opening them on Saturday?

Because in the past with a strong economy people were working and could not make it to city hall or the election board during normal working hours.
Now go back and read this thread and realise your whole purpose here is to pretend that voters will not have a hrder time voting under the laws this anti American weasel is making.
The WHOLE idea of this country is the voice of the people ALL OF THEM.
Not just the ones you like but the majority of them.
Any attempt to DECREASE who votes is TREASON.
The republican party has used all sorts of tactics over the decades to keep the voice of the people from being heard.
THEY ARE COURT DOCUMENTED.
If every American knew these facts the republican party would be DEAD.
Liberal media indeed.
If we had a liberal media in this country EVERY American would know how hard the republican work to keep Americans from voting.
