Proponents of controversial Voter Suppression ID laws and other voting reforms are admitting to what we all already know – those laws are intended to keep blacks and other minorities from the polls. Despite hundreds of thousands of Ohioans taking advantage of weekend voting during the 2008 election – Republican election officials in the state voted to end weekend voting for this election. According to a study by Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates, a large percentage – and in some counties a majority – of those using weekend early voting are African Americans. But as one Republican election official, Doug Priesse, told the Columbus Dispatch, "I...feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate...African Americans." But – according to Priesse – Republicans should actively pass laws that restrict the voting rights of African Americans.

I don't believe he said that. Sounds more like electioneering lies to me. Somewhere down the line, at the bottom of the last page, somebody will say "oops--he was misquoted!"
This is not news.
Absolutely no integrity with this writer.
They are not suppression laws.
They are laws designed to prove people have the right to vote.
PERIOD.
The socialist spinmeisters negative narrative are not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes here.
The Demacraps cheat just ask Ellen Saurbray
First of all, if anything, no weekend voting would make it harder for the working class to vote; AKA non food stamp collecting folks! The idea of voter ID is to make sure the dead and impersonators DON'T vote!
