Other than those of us on the right. All the liberals are doing is claiming GOP suppression.

Sorry, too cumbersome to copy & paste on my phone. But the link is worth reading IMHO.

Why would the GOP suppress votes in districts they control?

Exactly, SSB.
I lived & voted in Chicago for years, not exactly a bastion of the right wing. It never took me more than 20 minutes to vote. I served as an election judge twice, and the lines were never long. Why? There were polling locations freaking everywhere.
If a goofy backwards political city like Chicago can accomplish that, why can't others emulate it?

Well, CaliforniaPeggy has thrown up a couple of links from some far-left sites - second one from that cesspool Salon just says that it's suppression because it's often done in "red states", the one from (don't)Think(don't)Progress actually says:
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has followed through on promises to restrict voting opportunities in his state. The change, announced Tuesday, eliminates extended early voting hours on weekdays, the final two days before Election Day as well as Sunday voting, a day typically important to African-American voters because churches use it to turn out votes.
:whatever:
Again, they are on the wrong side of the issue - support for photo ID laws tops out at 70%+ in those polls they usually love so much.

It's called "Election DAY" for a reason, DUmbasses. Early voting = voting fraud as far as I'm concerned, and if you're too f'n lazy to vote on "Election DAY", maybe you shouldn't be voting at all...
I've voted in every election (which is every year) held in Virginia since I turned 18 back in 1978. I've had to show ID EVERY SINGLE TIME. (Yes, even back in 1978. Suck it, DUmbasses!!!)

Exactly Tess. :cheersmate:
And the voter ID as a suppression tactic is a red herring as well. Many states now make a picture ID free of charge.

I just went to the liberal website linked by the poet laureate of blink, blink, blink, blink.
I found the below section from the article very interesting...

The reason I find it interesting is because I seem to remember a big to-do several years back because a conservative organization provided pamphlets to evangelical/fundamentalist churches that showed the candidates' stance on various issues. Based only on my recollection, the pamphlets did NOT tell anyone who to vote for. It only listed each candidate's stance on issues such as abortion. The left pitched fits and claimed it was a violation of church and state.

Not only do we need voter ID laws, but we need ways of keeping people from voting twice. How about using indelible ink like they do in other countries. You go and vote, and your finger or thumb is marked with. A quick check at the polling place would determine if you voted somewhere else.
Early voting and voting by mail should be restricted to military.
