So the SOS in Ohio has decided that NOBODY gets to vote during extended hours, and the Judge in PA upholding their new voting laws (Self-described by the Republican senate leader as designed to "Elect Romney") relies on a precedent that reads, in part:
"The court held that this differential treatment between Philadelphia and the rest of the state was constitutional because Philadelphians, simply, were bad people: ”Where population greatly abounds vice and virtue have their greatest extremes. A simple rural population needs no night police, and no lock-up. Rogues and strumpets do not nightly traverse the deserted highways of the farmer. Low inns, restaurants, sailors’ boarding-houses, and houses of ill fame do not abound in rural precincts, ready to pour out on election day their pestilent hordes of imported bullies and vagabonds, and to cast them multiplied upon the polls as voters. In large cities such things exist, and its proper population therefore needs greater protection, and local legislation must come to their relief. The freedom and equality of the ballot-box must be protected from the local causes which mar and destroy a free and equal election.” 60 P" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=38624> -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
