The department notified state officials late Wednesday that it would approve the state’s plan for early voting, provided election supervisors in five designated counties agree to offer 96 hours of early voting over an 8-day period

so strange that only the same 5 counties are coverd by the Voters Rights Act:

Five of Florida’s 67 counties — including Monroe and Hillsborough — fall under the national Voting Rights Act. The act requires that changes in voting laws in counties or states with a history of racial discrimination must be approved, or “pre-cleared,” by the Justice Department. Rather than wait for permission, Florida proceeded with the new rules for the 62 counties, an unorthodox move that prompted the department’s lawsuit and threatened to create a dual election system here.

Hillsorbough is by St, Pete / Tampa, a liberal counties, and not a minority.

yes...it's based on the history of voting rights in the area. Looks like there should be additions to bring the country up to date. There's a new wave of voter suppression in select Red states.
 
Your right wing blogger is wrong.

http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/12878422-voter-id-laws-struck-down-in-texas-and-florida

oter ID laws are beginning to fall as judges declare them discriminatory and illegal. Both Texas and Florida voter ID laws met defeat on Thursday with court rulings.

In Texas, a panel of three U.S. federal court judges called the new voter ID law too "strict" and placed an unfair burden on the poor.

Today's decision marks the second defeat for Texas voter ID laws. In March, the U.S. Justice Department ruled that it had a disproportionate effect on "minorities," particularly Hispanics.

Florida suffered a similar defeat on Wednesday as the Republican efforts to penalize voter registration were found to be unreasonable and unfair.

MSNBC reported on the ruling this way:

"A federal judge said Wednesday he would permanently remove harsh restrictions on third-party voter registration groups that have handicapped registration efforts in Florida this year. U.S. District Judge Robert L. Hinkle said he would grant a motion to permanently remove the restrictions once he receives confirmation that a federal appeals court has dismissed the case (the state of Florida has agreed to dismiss their appeal).

“The suit was originally filed back in December by the League of Women Voters of Florida, Rock the Vote, and the Florida Public Interest Research Group Education Fund. The Justice Department opposed the restrictions in a separate lawsuit."

Republican-led state legislatures have been leading the charge on voter suppression, which has spread to more than 30 states.

Yeah, you mean back in 1952? Which was stopped by the Supreme Court until the radical right wing republicans have revived it in their attempts to rig the election? Yup...THAT Jim Crow laws. The ones the Courts are striking down now, too. ;)
 
I would like to know how anyone can claim that some carpetbagger successfully disenfranchising the people of Florida counts as a win for Florida. This is nothing new for Republicans and the reason the Dixiecrats held this state after reconstruction had been repulsed. The Dixiecrats played the same tricks and were eventually out maneuvered. Since 2000 the Republicans have held enough power to do it again and have. I don't have much faith that the DNC would not do the same if they were somehow to regain control of this state, but that is not a reasonable concern at the moment.

Frankly, any one in Florida that votes for Romney is a traitor to their state and hates the sunshine. Unfortunately, the state stinks of moldy carpet.

I don't believe, as some do, that we need to get rid of the electoral college. There are many drawbacks to such a change and we should not implement change for the sake of change. We just need to be more honest and aware about how the system is gamed by both sides and punish those in our own parties who do it.

The relevant scripture for today...

KJ Cambridge Ed
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

New American Standard
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Addendum...

I could translate this into Ebonics, Y'allbonics or Spanglish but...

Someday, and hopefully soon, people will finally get Mencken, Twain, Haley or Stowe. Until then we are forced to conform to some hypocrites pattern of speech in order to maintain the pretense of superiority.

Please, let her be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
Hope my baby girl grows up to be a hustla
Let her be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
If not, then you're only a customer
Please, let him be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
Hope my baby boy grows up to be a hustla
Let him be a hustla; baby, be a hustla
If not, then you're only a customer
