I Waited In Line One Hour To Vote This Morning, In A Small Precinct- OHIO

5 minutes for my husband

The logic is as follows:

For "Provisional Ballots" (in Ohio) once they are cast the Board of Election then first determins the Legal Voting Status of the person who cast the Provisional Ballot. (was the person validly registered etc. etc.). This is usually caused by an issue of lack of ID when at the polls (10 days to provide it) moving and not changing one's voter registration location, but also includes if the person was registered at all.

It then checks to see if the person voted previously via mail or via early voting.

Finally it checks to see that the information THE PERSON filled out (ongoing Fed Ct. litigation at the moment on this one) the Provisional Ballot form accurately and the signatures match that which is on file.

With 150,000 to 250,000 provisional ballots being cast in Ohio today they COULD determine the outcome if the race is particularly tight. In 2010 one Ohio Congressional race WAS decided by the Provisional Ballots.

All in all 10 days to perform all those reviews is easily accomplished in rural counties, but tough to get accomplished in the Urban Counties (the BOE's have an extra 10 days to complete their reviews AFTER the 10 day state wide hold is over with, if needed fwiw)

Maybe you cant read well....he said Gary Johnson not Obama..

You want your country back from the black guy.

Thanks. We will.

Obvious racist is racist.

It's called sarcasm. I can read, and unfortunately any vote for Gary Johnson works in Obama's favor and I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT!

I know your education probably was not as good as mine, but I will help you out.

G A R Y J O H N S O N

Same amount of letters, but different letters. Maybe you are only good at math.

Except I voted for Obama last time, as he was the closest thing to a conservative in that election. So he lost a vote this time, as Johnson is the closest thing to a conservative this time.

Side note, my first presidental vote ever was John McCain in the 2000 primaries, I was 17. I did not vote for him in 2008 because he was not the same guy.

Christie need money for his state. If he didn't play the game, Ovomit-Nastyturd would've held back. He's sweet, that way,-and he's proven it...look at the GM car dealerships he took away (all republican).

Unlike Ovomit, Christie really does care for all his constituents and wants to make sure they are safe and get the FEMA help they deserve.

Not true. Many democrats vote for the libertarian.

Plus it depends on your state. I live in California, my vote is worthless....no matter who I voted for this state goes to Obama.

Hell I could write in kermit the frog, it would have the same effect as voting for Romney...

I could not get excited for McCain last election...at all

In this tight of a race, especially where it's tight, if Mitt loses by 5% or less, I blame you Gary Johnson voter for allowing Obama 4 more years.

I just heard that, and it is great news!

I like to think that Christie called Obama out there, and Obama took the bait.

It took him away from the campaign trail into a state he will win hands down.

I don't think that is what happened though...

Hell McCain couldn't get excited for McCain last election.

California point taken.

I agree. He is wasting a vote on Romney even if he voted Romney. lol

I waited an hour in a podunk town in Colorado as well, line was out the door and into the parking lot of the Rec Center.

I am just praying the Oreo Obomination is deposed!!! May not make much of a difference, but I cannot look at that nephilim liar for another 4 years!!

Either way, I sure as hell wasn't going to vote for Obambam

Sadly, I think he changed who he was to recieve the nomination. Had he been 2000 John McCain, I would have voted for him.

Lots of ANTS running to the polls today to vote for the next queen that will rule them. One will get eaten and the other will be given the chance to dictate your lives.

Have fun little ants! Choose your next "Queen of the Ants" Then scurry back to work bringing the queen food and water as it gives birth to the next generation of ants.

I laughed out loud.

Huh? The guy who calls it like it is? The guy who insults people who ask him fair questions? He sucks up for his state?

Christy could have handled it in a way that did not give such a big bump (pun intended) to Obama.

If what you are saying is true - it was a very short-sighted move on Christy's part. Espeically considering that Obama does not have a track record of giving a shit anyway -- after he gets what he wants, it does not matter who helped him get it.

I also note that Christy turned down the offer of free gas from the feds for his constitutents... the guy didn't want to tie up resources to protect the gas lines... and you say he cares for his state -- so he sucks up to Obama?

He should have sucked it in (pun intended) and not wasted resources on Obamas visit -- resources that he is not willing to put on the line for his own people (free gas).

Went to 3 voting locations in Colorado, the 3rd was the least packed. Never seen so many people out voting at 10am in the morning.

Interesting indeed. The comments are always the good stuff.

Evan I respect you but you and others need to seriously knock that OBTUSE act off when it comes to L. Ron Paultard and his merry band of "End the Fed, Secceed from both the Union and the Confederacy at the same time, whewwwww!!!" occult zombies.

In an election this close, in a swing state.... a vote for GJ is a vote for Obama.

Even hard-core communists who ABHOR Obama's "pro-Bush" policies, are voting for Obama. However reluctantly. A vote is a vote is a vote.

So please, no more games, no more smarmy, glib "Libertarian" grandstanging & poseur-dom.

Get rid of the Traitor.

I am not in a swing state.

Regardless, I would not give anyone any sh*t for voting their conscience.

The most important thing to me is the debt. The debt will end us. Romney is as big of a spender as Obama.

So for anyone who takes the debt seriously, GJ is the only choice..

You missed my post after that. I voted for Obama last time, I did not this time. So he actually lost a vote.

Well, MaCain "changed". Because to survive the Republican Priamry, you HAVE TO pander to the base.

That political reality may have also (hope not!) doomed Mitt Romney in 2012. It's not that Mitt Romney is a "flip-flopper" -- no he's actually a fairly consistent pro-America, pro-White, pro-family, pro-Healthcare coverage for all, pro-Capitalism free-market and pro-personal responsibility...... but to even have a chance to come out of the Primary alive, Romney had to "change" some of his positions.

And Romney still almost didn't survive the Tea Party/Ron Paul Primary Gauntlet. LOL, the irony of the whole thing.

Romney was literally between a rock and a hard-place. Literally.
