Hedley: “And yet the Republican governor of Florida issued an Executive Order extending the voting hours. Go figure.”

He was also a leading figure for the V.P. slot, but I believe rumors of his ‘lifestyle’ cause hardliners within the party to veto his consideration.

From the link:

“I’m concerned that some counties will and some counties won’t and that will be manipulated by the campaigns – they will hold them open later in Democratic counties and then will close them early in Republican counties.”

That’s a fair concern. There ought to be one standard, beyond ‘well we haven’t seen a voter in a while so let’s close up shop. If one stays open, they all should.

Why not follow Oregon’s lead and just do our voting by mail? Paper ballot pen signature postage stamp.

I don’t understand how there is any excuse for this. It is in no way “country first.”

Voting hours should increase logically in response to increasing city and county populations and resultant line sizes.

What reason did these guys and the ones in Florida give for not wanting to extend hours? It seems like such a commonsensical thing, especially in Florida with those incredibly long lines.
