LOL good Ol Republican tactics

It's the Constitution. Not liking it doesn't change it.

There are a lot of freedoms and rights that I wish were more explicit in Constitution.

They're are also some rights and freedoms that are explicitly in the Constitution that I would like to put in a second time to see if that would keep Democrats from ignoring them.

Currently anyone eligible to vote that wants to vote can vote. That right is not currently being demied while the rights to life, bear arms, and freedom of speech and religion are being trampled on a daily basis.

Where is your sorrow over those rights being destroyed?

I haven't seen any rights to bear arms trampled in any way shape or form, guns rights and what is legally allowed has expanded, allowing guns in churches, bars, and parks doesn't make me feel safer but that's where we are at this point. The country with the highest incidents of violent deaths and injuries than any other country, not including war-torn countries. People don't just own guns they now all have arsenals. Freedom of speech is still very much alive. A privilege to life is the choice of the woman who chooses to grow a person. Religion has more rights than ever.

But having a right to vote versus a privilege prevents the government from taking that privilege away at their whim, for me that is paramount over guns.
One person can fight a goliath as the government under his rights in court, but if the US government comes after you militarily, no matter how many guns you have in your basement...you ain't gonna win my friend.

In other words, once again you are blowing smoke.

Do you believe people don't understand law, or is it that you don't?

Polls are protected under federal law, especially during federal elections. A governor cannot decide to close said poll without legal just cause and the filing of proper writs etc.

You either have no idea why the poll was legally closed, or you don't want.others to know and you're ducking the issue.

In the future, if you continue to make these arbitrary ridiculous comments, like someone just casually decided to shut down a polling place, plan to be called to task.

People here are informed. If you aren't, I suggest you become so.....quickly.

The fact is that moving polling place isn't a casual thing done at the 11th hour. Doing so violates a few items plus the problem of adequately informing the public.

If you haven't seen the right to bear arms be trampled you've been in a coma. In many states it is virtually impossible to get a weapon legally although in those States is particularly easy to get one illegally. But I don't think that's the way it's supposed to be.

The Constitution doesn't give you the right to carry weapons into a church or into my home. The Constitution prohibits government from making it impossible for you to bring a weapon into a church or into my home.

There are a lot of places I don't like guns. There a lot of people I don't want to have guns. And if I were a dictator I could just mandate who gets the gun and who doesn't and where they can take them.

But I prefer a free society where the Bill of Rights is taken seriously. The Bill of Rights is in its entirety a limitation of government power. Limiting government power is how you stop a dictatorship.

I believe I vaguely remember some colleges having problems with residency issues and some students voting illegally, and closing some polling places. Then of course the left starting squealing suppression

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Thank You, Dave...~~~Very nice coming from you...

Even if you were correct, which you may be, dumb is preferable vs criminal. Hence the declining democratic membership.

When you say they "all have arsenals" you are being hysterical. That comment is nonsense.

Freedom of speech is being violated. Ask the right leaners who have been denied access to speak, those who have been shouted down, and those who have been physically attacked for the heinous desire to exercise their right to speak.

And if you feel safe in gun free zones where the only ones armed are those who.plan to use them against.people like you and I, you may need to rethink your position. You have nothing to fear from decent law abiding people whether they are armed or nof. You do and should fear those who would use guns against you, and those are not.legal gun carrying people.

To obtain a permit to carry requires one to be checked out to be sure they pose no.public threat, and one must have a legitimate acceptable reason to carry. The criminals and terrorists don't obtain those permits. Law abiding people do.

And you need to look into Oregon where guns are being illegally confiscated. In fact, you need to be better informed and less opinionated.

When I turned 18 I signed up for social security and registered Democrat the party my family had always been. My parents idolized FDR and believed the Democrat party was the party of the working man and the Republicans were the party of big business. Sen Barry Goldwater had a syndicated column that appeared once a week in my local news paper and I was persuaded by him that the Democrats were the bad guys and the Republicans especially the conservative wing were the good guys and had all the best answers. He stressed every man for himself, stand up on your own two feet. Pick up your self by your boot straps. He was persuasive and convinced me. So I changed my registration to Republican. My mother was horrified but I told her that was back in the olden days that it was all different now. For the next 20 years my union would send a voter guide asking for my vote for Democrats, I would toss it in the trash and vote for all the Republicans and I read all the conservative columnists. When They wrote of their dislike for Social Security I would tell my self well you can't have everything. I kept trying to rationalize a reason to continue to vote Republican through Watergate, Iran Contra. I had chosen a tribe and we humans hate to admit when we are wrong so I hung on. I hung on until I received a voter guide from the RNC asking for my vote for the Republicans as usual and asking for a donation except this time they included a 15 page tabloid with some of the damndest allegations against Bill Clinton that could be imagined. The same allegations was produced In a video produced by Jerry Falwell titled "The Clinton Chronicals " that was marketed through the Christian Store. I saw Falwell admit on TV that all that stuff was made up and he had paid those people in the video. That was it for me. When we moved to a retirement community four years later I chanfed my registration to Democrat, and I volunteered at the local Democratic headquarters to stuff envelopes and voter guides. As far as the Republican party goes they have continued to move to the far right and it is tearing that party in two.

A college ID only identifies one as a student there. It does not prove legal right to vote. And moving a polling place at the 11th hour opens a can of worms because a voter registration card tells you the location of your one assigned polling place. A change in location must occur early enough to inform all affected voters of the new location. And there must be justifiable cause for the move. Such as a recurring history of improper residency as you indicate.

I was so dang angry with what BO did to our military in not giving extra time to get those votes and then two, specifically excluding them I could have smacked him myself!!

Failing to meet the deadline in even mailing absentee ballots was enough but to then exclude some 50k military All on BOs intent to suppress them finished it for him in my eyes!!
The supposed president Obama re-election campaign sued Ohio state officials in an attempt to suppress, in that pivotal swing state, the votes of America’s military men and women – people who traditionally lean conservative and vote Republican. Ohhh yessss I remember it!!

Yes, damn disgusting too!!
