BREAKING: Three Bush-Appointed Judges Give Thumbs Up To Voter Disenfranchisement In Ohio

The title to this article comes directly from ThinkProgress.org. I included BREAKING because it is important, but it actually happened yesterday. If you live in Ohio be certain to verify and double check the location where you can cast your vote, because if someone lies to you or gives you the wrong information your vote won't count now.

     Late last week, a federal district court ordered Ohio to stop disenfranchising voters who are directed to vote at the wrong polling place due to poll worker error. Earlier today (10/31/12), a severely conservative panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit stayed this order, ruling that Ohio may disenfranchise these voters — even when their error is due to false instructions from a poll worker — because they believed allowing these votes to be counted would “absolve[] voters of all responsibility for voting in the correct precinct.”

Slight editing added by the diarist
   If you vote in the wrong place you must be punished, even if a poll worker or someone else told you the wrong location. So says two judges who were appointed by George Bush Jr and another who was appointed by his father.

    I'm hooping that others who are more knowledgeable than I on this matter will chime in down in the comments section. The obvious point to me is that the Romney campaign has already been busted instructing their poll watcher/volunteers to lie to voters in Wisconsin, and now they have a clear incentive to do the same in Ohio.

    Be vigilant. Double check your voting locations and advise others in Ohio to do so as well.

   I leave the floor to you.
