I know people who work long hours, do not drive and tend to vote in general elections during the last three days of early voting hours. In the 2004 election, the lines were so long that people could not wait to vote. I would like everyone to have to the opportunity to exercise this special right as a citizen.

The limiting of voting time could potentially effect all eligible voters, including me, in Delaware County. This is not the time, whether you're Republican, Democrat, or Independent, to limit voting in any way.

On Wednesday, August 15, 2012, the New York Times published an op-ed entitled Overt Discrimination in Ohio, in response to the fact that voters in conservative leaning counties will be able to vote in the evenings and weekends while voters in more progressive and urban counties will not. This is not democracy. Every Ohio voter should have the same access and opportunity to vote early. Currently, many Ohio county Board of Elections are in dead-lock ties on extending early voting hours and choosing accessible early voting locations. That's why we're calling on the Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to break these tie votes, making voting easy and convenient for all Ohioans. If we don't act now, voters in Ohio can expect long lines and confusion about times during the upcoming early voting period for the 2012 election. Sign our petition calling on the Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to break these tie votes, making voting easy and convenient for all Ohioans.

The State of Ohio is moving to restrict early voting hours in urban areas. This is clearly meant to disenfranchise the high number of urban voters who have taken advantage of the opportunity to vote on evenings and weekends. Our democratic process calls on as many voters as possible to participate in elections - not just those who can get away from work in the middle of the day.

Ohioans are being denied equal access to the polls this November because Board of Election officials, along with Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, have denied extended voting hours to counties with large Democratic populations. Every American deserves the right to participate in our democracy! Learn more: http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F201208052259%2FNEWS0106%2F308050053

secty. of state Husted intends to change early voting hours and days on a county by county basis---shortening the hours in DEMOCRATIC -INDEPENDENT MARJORITY COUNTIES .

In previous elections 82 of voters in Frankin County voted on nights and weekends. Secretary Of State John Husted is considering limiting early voting hours running up to the election in November .and will be listening to local boards of elections concens on the issue. We need expanded hours to insure that everyone has the opportunity to exercise their right to vote.

For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County, where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends. Now, Secretary of State Husted said he is considering limiting early voting hours across the state in the run-up to the November election. Help send a message that voting should be accessible to everyone, regardless of his or her political affiliation.

All registered voters, including those with long working hours, should be able to find the poles open early enough (or late enough) so that they can cast their vote !

Make Arkansas , allow gays to marrie there partners and raise there famileys ,

To stop abuses of employers, demanding too much work from their workers. Remember a time when there was even more people helping to do the job, living in a stress free environment. Most of todays employers ask or demand more, and people are getting sick, getting injuried, making family second to job, hiring illegals or foreigners,even cuting benefits, saying they cost more, but in reality its about GREED !!

Though states actually elect members of Congress and the president, we need a federal mandate to stop all voter suppression nationwide. All political parties must remind all eligible americans to register and vote. All states must issue voter registration picture ID cards at states' expense. If possible, President Obama should issue the mandate via Executive Order in time for the November 6, 2012 elections.
