We must be proactive toward voting machines suppression. [View all]

[Funtatlaguy]

I get so tired every Election Day That we hear that in some states that there aren’t enough machines in certain precincts. Therefore, the voting lines are extremely long and voters must wait up to a very long time to vote.
States know by past turnouts what to expect in voter turnout.
But, Republican Secretaries of State seem to always be “surprised” by big turnouts in democratic areas. Not enough machines. Machines that are broken, etc.etc.

We know they will do it again.
So, are we being proactive?
We should have Dem state party officials and attorneys on top of this now.
Insist on knowing how many machines have been allocated per precinct.
Insist on knowing when they will be brought to each polling place
Insist that they all have been tested BEFORE Election Day.
Invite media members to go along with your attorneys when asking these questions.
Ask the media to do stories showing all of the problems in past elections in certain precincts.

I’m tired of complaining about this type of voter suppression on Election Day, aren’t you?
Let’s try to stop those Republican efforts in advance.
I know that there are many other types of voting suppression things besides lack of machines.
But Having enough voting machines is one thing that we can try to make happen in advance.
