Uniformity of voting opportunities for all Ohioans

see above

Why is this important?

I believe that all counties in Ohio should have open and expanded hours for voting in evenings and on weekends so that those Ohioans who cannot get to the polls on election day can trust that their votes for the candidates of their choice will be counted. We cannot have a situation like the one that disenfranchised those voters who stood in the rain on election day of 2004 and could not get into the polls before they closed. The situation of depriving voters in specific counties their right to the same voting opportunities as those in "red" counties is un-American. This is reminiscent of the situation in Germany under the Nazis. This is America, where the Voting Rights Act is affords all Americans the same opportunities in the exercize of their rights to vote.

The Republicans are showing their lack of confidence in their candidate and have resorted to voter suppression to get votes for their candidate. Officials in Pennsylvania have even admitted that their policies on voter suppression will "get the job DONE in favor of Romney".
