An intentional road block to voter access. WTF ?

2. Hopefully there will be offers of cars/vans/Uber/Lyft/taxis/busses to get there. nt

3. The other polling place is a mile outside of town

Away from the bus line and not many people that take busses can rely on cars/vans/taxis/uber.

6. That's why I'm hoping there will be "offers" of rides on these vehicles

Certainly other cities and towns around the country are doing this locally when GOP scum started closing their polling places.

13. GOTV is not enough

when they deny people the opportunity to vote. If Kobach squeaks in, it will because they suppressed the vote just enough. Which is the plan.

I am tired of Dems needing 5%-10% more votes just to break even.

15. ACLU-Transportation for voters seems covered--but we're not finished.

From the ACLU https://www.aclukansas.org/en/transportation-need-dodge-city-met-were-not-finished

The outpouring of support from across the country has been heartening as concerned citizens have flooded the ACLU of Kansas with emails, calls, and messages asking to help transport voters to the single poll on the edge of town in Dodge City, Kansas.

Through the tireless efforts of numerous volunteers and organizations in Dodge City, the need for transportation for voters appears to be sufficiently covered. We commend everyone who has been directly involved and who has remained engaged.

But Dodge City should draw our attention to a larger picture of the many roadblocks dropped in front of Kansas voters. It should compel us to remain vigilant. Voter suppression efforts take on many forms in policy or practice across the state.

16. This is bullshit!

Wasn't Melissa Etheridge going to donate buses to get people to the polling places and back?

Still, that's one polling place for how many thousands of voters? This is intentional voter suppression and the local officials need to be sued.
