Somebody pleeeeeeease explain to me how that b****** Secretary of State, Husted, can do

all the voter suppression things he continues to do without law enforcement even blinking an eye. His latest thing includes the way the ballot application is filled out. These are last minute things he is implementing. Somebody needs to lock this fool up. Take him to jail in handcuffs now.

12. That is a terrible slur against gay men.

Please edit it or self-delete. Attaching a negative stereotype about gay men to someone you dislike is an insult to gay men, too.

Find some other negative thing to say about them, please. So far, you have no hidden posts. I will hold off on alerting on your post to see if you edit it.

He also tried to cut early voting days. They took him to court and he lost. But he still cut early voting hours on last three days.

...there's only a limited number of recourses the court can provide. Order him to comply, sure. Order him again if he refuses, sure. Chuck his ass into jail if he proceeds with suppressing the vote, definitely. But the courts can't do much to undo an election once the polls are closed -- and any attempt to do so would undoubtedly wind up at the SCOTUS, with, likely, the same results as 2000. And, as to criminal penalties, can there be any doubt that a President Romney would quickly issue pardons to anyone who enabled his election?
