The article in the post directly above yours is pretty clear about the matter. If it's not suppression, it's at the very least discouragement of specific voting demographics.

For all the latest on what's going on with regard to election laws (not just voter supression, but all kinds of activities) in the USA, there's this excellent blog. Election Law Blog | Rick Hasen's blog The blogger is a professor in election law, so he's quite knowledgeable. This is an interesting article also mentioned somewhere on that Election Law Blog: The Ballot Cops - Mariah Blake - The Atlantic It talks about efforts by Republican Parties (and organizations affiliated with Republican Parties) to 'observe' voting in specific areas, but that many of those efforts also result in intimidation. This op-ed contains a good suggestion from someone who has experienced some of the irregularities from up close. It's time for a nonpartisan elections official - Houston Chronicle I think that something like that is needed in the USA, as you apparently can't trust someone actively affiliated with a party. Or at least, to take away the suggestion that someone's decisions might be motivated by a specific party. |

Good to see democracy is still alive and kicking.

Romney said the uninsured can just go to an emergency room. Seriously. He said that.
Quote:
Of course, after they are released from the emergency room, there is follow up care necessary which if you are uninsured, you won't be able to afford. Romney: Uninsured have emergency rooms |

Think how much more fun flying would be if you can feel the wind flowing through your hair:

I am sure the GOP will call this map wishful thinking
Obama vs. Romney Electoral Map but, if NC is now the only toss-up state, then Romney will go down in history as one of the least competent candidates ever. |

This is about the time that McCain went off the deep end in 2008, so he's right on cue.

Romney really just needs to stop talking. God willing he'll go away after he loses in November.

If he's all the GOP can come up with in the future, then yes, Romney won't fade away any time soon.
