[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Regardless of party affiliation, as a democracy, we should make it easier for people to vote. If you've worked the polls, then you have options in life that aren't available to everyone. [/quote]

Why is it harder to vote on August 29 than in November.  The polls are open for 13 hours.

And, I am grateful to have been able to serve.  And, I certainly realize that it is not an option available to some.  Certainly, there have been times when I did not have that option myself.

I just don't understand why you consider this voter suppression.  I also don't understand why you think the voters from your party care so little that they cannot make it to the polls.

It's not harder to vote in August than in November.  But it's easier for people to go out to vote once for several positions, than to vote multiple times for single positions.  I don't think this point is really debatable.

I never said it was voter suppression.  That was another post.

I don't think any party cares so little or so much.  It's really the people that aren't as politically involved who are more likely to show up for the "big" elections.  Personally, I think elections should reflect the will of the largest percentage of voters possible--not just those that are really into politics or can afford to take time off from work or other obligations.
