Ohio Secretary of State John Husted Refuses to Comply With Court Order That Would 'Confuse' Voters
Remember when Ohio Republican Secretary of State John Husted tried to extend voting hours in Republican counties, and then when everyone bitched and moaned about it he was all FINE, I WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND AND NO ONE GETS WEEKEND VOTING, and then it came out that this was all part of a heroic plan to save the election from being sullied by certain kinds of voters ? Well, now Jon Husted hashad itwith all of these shenanigans and with the contortions of the electoral process. This has become too darned confusing, all these voting hours being extended and then not extended and then extended for everyone except for "urban" people and whatnot, so he’s refusing to comply with a court order to expand voting hours so that voters are not "confused."
From Think Progress:
Jon Husted, Republican Secretary of State in Ohio, is refusing to change his restrictive early voting schedule even after a federal court restored in-person early voting to all Ohioans during the three day period before the general election. Husted claims expanding hours before an appeals court hears his case will “only serve to confuse voters.” Husted first restricted the voting hours in Democratic-leaning urban counties to weekdays only, then restricted all counties’ voting schedules after complaints of unfairness. In spite of several counties’ requests to stay open on weekends, when most employed people have time to vote, Husted has flatly refused to accommodate them.
What an American treasure, looking out for Ohioans and making sure that they can go through their day without being confused by, you know, Democracy.
Doesn't Husted look like some frat guy? You know? The one who likes blow jobs from his buddy, but only when they're drunk...?
i for one did NOT see this coming and i salute your uncommon prescience.
i did not think even OH republicans would be that stupid.
