Long voting lines might not
be as widespread as Obama says

Complaints about long lines marred the November election for some. So at the State of the Union, President Obama announced a new bipartisan commission to try and make voting easier. He cited the case of a Florida voter, 102-year-old Desiline Victor, whom Obama said waited in line for hours. "They can´t wait for five or six or seven hours just to cast their ballot," the president declared. "We are betraying our ideals." But while Florida was considered the worst state for waiting times, with one study estimating that 200,000 people gave up because of the wait, another study questions

No surprise considering it rolled off the lips of a serial liar.

Early voting has become a nuance procedure for the left to steal more elections.I seriously doubt that people who work at the polls in dem controlled areas have no clue on who´s already voted and couldn´t care less about them being in line again.Is Obama assuming that all the 200,000 voters who gave up were going to vote for him?
How did republicans make sweeping gains in Fl. in 2010 suddenly get buried in this past election?

How many of these Florida dolt voters voted for Pat Buchanon thinking it was AlGore?

I am a Florida voter and it took me about 5 minutes in the voting booth, which included voting for/against the 11 amendments. That´s because I had studied the issues and had a marked up ballot with me so I didn´t hold up the line. And Zippy loves to paint negatives with a broad brush.

Long lines? So what. Put up with it if you want to vote. No one promised you anything.

I can´t believe the story. I can´t believe that Americans wouldn´t allow a 102 year old lady to go to the front of the line.

I have the freedom to be able to vote at off hours and never encounter long lines. But on those few occasions when I have voted during the busiest times, I have never had to wait more than twenty minutes to get to the check in table. O, as usual, is lying.

I guess when you´re a Democrat voting six or seven times, you probably have a six hour wait.

You know, go to polling place #1, vote (about 20 minutes). Get in your car, drive to the next precinct (maybe 30 minutes), find a parking space, pull out that next voter registration card or work on your story why you should vote here (another 10 minutes), walk in and vote (probably a little less than before because you just click the Democrat straight party ticket), and repeat.

Once you´ve done this about 7 times, it´s probably about 6 hours later.

What percentage of the delays was caused by people not being registered to vote? What percentage was caused because the records showed the voter had already voted?


Reply 9 - Posted by: fljack, 2/14/2013 8:19:58 AM     (No. 9175591)

No early voting. Any requests for absentee ballots MUST have valid reasons, enumerated in the law and all absentee ballots returned MUST be notarized, with the exception of military ballots.

I personally know of too many cases where absentee ballots are sent to long term care facilities (nursing homes), taken and filled out by unionized staff members under the SEIU umbrella, and returned. The only time the voter saw the ballot was to sign it, if he/she could.

This story is as bogus as the phony telling it. How far and wide did he have to search to find this poor old woman to help him perpetuate this lie?

I planned for a long wait when I went to vote so took a book with me. The lines were very long, but within minutes a poll worker made an announcement that any disabled or over age 70 people could come to the front and get in a different much shorter line. I was out of there in minutes and would bet this was the case almost everywhere.

There were evidently long lines in FL because there were 11 amendments on the ballot. And evidently most people had not read them previously so they were having to read each one, try to figure out what it was about and then mark the ballot. So it´s not all the fault of the state. Much information was presented in the newspapers prior to the election so if they had been paying attention, there wouldn´t have needed to be long lines. Floriduh voters come thru again!

The most important line is to "modernize our voter registration system." I don´t think that´s what Obama has in mind.

I rather doubt that this lady even remembers voting, let alone a long wait. Personally, I think anyone who would wait "six or seven" hours to vote must have rocks in their head. Go early or during the work day (I assume this lady didn´t have a job). There are always times when the polls are less crowded.

Wasn´t FL one of the states where voters were in excess of 100% of registered voters?

I suspect that poster #7 is right on.

At rush hours my polls have long lines, I have no idea how long the wait is, but I´m sure it´s at least 30 minutes at worst.

An hour later it´s basically walk in and vote.

I´ve never waited more than about five minutes

The entire thing is just another vehicle to enable anyone voting Dem to vote early and often.

I´m guessing some of those long lines were caused by people getting back in line for a second or third time!

What about making it easier for the military to vote? Why isn´t there a commission on that?.....
.....Oh wait, there is/was; and after 4 years they still didn´t get it right and many of our military were unable to vote in 2012.

This is a democrat scam to get early voting accepted everywhere. Instant registration and then get them on an SEIU bus that will ferry these people back and forth to the polls for days on end. I´ve stated before that Alinsky taught that because our forefathers gave everyone (even the insane, illiterate and deranged) the right to vote they needed to harvest the apathetic and apolitical among them. The ones who never voted in the past were enticed to vote by community organizers. That is why Obama is pushing it.

Early voting should be outlawed. I think that´s where a lot of voter fraud is being made. Why are there long lines??? Get more voting booths, more front line people that do the paperwork, etc. There should not be a big problem with that. Get some of the city officials to man the desks. The only reason there´s long lines is because there´s not enough ´´stuff´´ to accommodate the crowds. It´s not that difficult to figure out, people. But NO EARLY VOTING - AND I.D. CHECK FOR EVERYONE!!!! We need honest voting not what we had in the last fraudulent election.

Of course there are long voting lines. The illegals still trapped in Mexico have to walk a really long way to get to an America voting booth.

There is no reason for anyone to wait more than a half hour at the most congested times. At our precinct we had some elderly folks sitting down while the person that was behind them saved their place. Some kind hearted people even allowed them in line before their turn. It isn´t that big of a deal as most people are very accommodating to these folks. Voting machines can even be taken out to the parking lot for voters who cannot get in and out of the car easily. As usual Barack Hussein Obama is making up stuff. OK, he´s a liar.

I have friends who worked the polls in Cincinnati. A well dressed black man arrived at an inner city voting area. He had no ID but wanted to vote under a name like Althea or some woman´s name. His only ID was an electric bill with Althea´s name on it. He was not allowed to be questioned whether or not that was his name. I realized all kinds of people have all kinds of names but this is only one example of something rather odd that went on that day.

What Florida and other states with 5-10 page ballots need to do is adjust their elections; National one year, State the next. In VA that seems to keep the ballots short. We also hold our local elections in June where I live, I am not sure it is statewide. Voila, you have short lines which move quickly.

How can someone in CA know how good the system is in FL when FL like PA, than more votes than voters ?

Desiline was busy clapping for herself, so I am of the believe they pulled her out of a nursing home. Notice she didn´t speak ?

Another Republican Super PAC is jumping into the increasingly nasty Massachusetts Senate battle, going after Democrat Ed Markey’s biggest weakness — his $1.3 million Maryland home. The America Rising PAC, recently founded by Mitt Romney’s former presidential campaign manager, is planning to deliver a letter today to Maryland’s comptroller urging the state to investigate why Markey has never paid state income taxes there despite living in the upscale Chevy Chase suburb for two decades, the Herald has learned. Markey’s residency status has been dogging him throughout his career, ever since the Herald reported in the early 1990s

Los Angeles County coroner´s officials said Wednesday the body recovered from a fiery, single-car crash in Hollywood that apparently killed journalist Michael Hastings will likely undergo an autopsy Thursday. But an official cause of death and closure of the case is not likely for four to six weeks or perhaps longer, they said. Coroner´s officials are hoping the results will answer why the accident happened. Officials were attempting to match dental records to help make a positive identification.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete
