What if Ricky Scott's vote suppression tactics backfire?

Looking at the lines shown to early vote in fl, i couldn't help but wonder- if the repubbies all all old they won't be able to stand, or even sit in w/chairs for 3-4 hours to vote. I would think they would stay away, or leave without voting b-4 a young Latino. Thoughts??

Still.....a sad commentary either way.

1. voters just have to be ready to get in line and camp out

Rathe occupy the poll. Young voters should let older ones that may not be able to stand so long go ahead of them and just not leave.

8. Pull Together

Have never seen the Republican Party so shameful as they are today. Beat them people!!!!! Vote

2. Ouch I didn't even think about that...

I don't think they have as much of the senior vote as they think they have anyway. I think it's a zero sum game. But, who knows maybe I am giving the senior population in Fla. too much credit.

3. What An Imamerian Thing

Why is Florida so fucked up each year? Is it the Republicans in charge? Or is the governance of the state just stupid?? I'm not being facetious, what gives?????

4. I live in Florida and saw seniors with oxygen and walkers voting.

Unfortunately, I live in a 60% Repub area, but I think it's the same deal in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale where a lot of Dem. seniors vote.

5. There will be many more voting machines in the GOP dominated areas

They do the same thing in Ohio.

6. They do that here in Texas as well.

It's one of their favorite tricks to suppress Democratic votes.

9. I early voted in TX. Took five minutes. There were no lines. It's nothing like FL.

10. Republican precinct?

In Harris county they've often provided too few voting machines in Dem precincts.

We actually have quite a few precincts which are Democrat dominated in Texas. In those we have to fight to keep our rights from being violated. Which is why both Dallas and Harris counties have had poll watchers dispatched to them from the Justice Dept. this year.

11. No. I live in low income area.

It's not even close to what's going on in FL. Of course they aren't worried in TX that Obama will win the state.

7. Silly of me to think the repubbies didn't already think of that

It really is a sad commentary
