Why do you care? We don't.
why aren't these liberal counties doing the voting system right?
30K would have voted for Barry, 19K for Bishop Felon Gecko
Long lines at polls caused 49,000 not to vote
About 30,000 of those discouraged voters — most of them in Orange and Osceola counties — likely would have backed Democratic President Barack Obama, according to Theodore Allen, an associate professor of industrial engineering at OSU.
About 19,000 voters would have likely backed Republican Mitt Romney, Allen said.
This suggests that Obama's margin over Romney in Florida could have been roughly 11,000 votes higher than it was, based just on Central Florida results. Obama carried the state by 74,309 votes out of more than 8.4 million cast.
"Look, people are frustrated in our state," Gov. Rick Scott said recently on CNN. "Some of our counties, we have very long lines. You know, we've got to restore confidence in our election."
Democratic activists such as Orlando's David Rucker said he saw a fierce devotion among voters to weather long lines to counter efforts by Republicans to limit early voting.
But many Central Florida voters faced unyielding work schedules, child-care issues or other demands. They could not wait out lines that sometimes stretched around blocks.

Pretty much the same in all Repug-dominated states, like OH, etc. Restrict early voting, reduce voting locations, restrict voting hours, and do it mostly in Dem counties.

you're ing stupid and ignorant.
The states have political appointees, operatives, hitmen regulate voting and count votes, instead of apolitical bureaucrats. This is how Katherine Harris stole the WH for dubya in 2000.
In Repug states that means voter suppression to accompany extreme gerrymandering which JINO SCOTUS will probably enable more of when they stop the Feds overview of redistricting in states with history of voter suppression.

The counties control the voting, right?
I'll bet the county control is by democrats, not republicans.
Besides...
It doesn't take much to push you over, and it's fun!
you're ing stupid and ignorant.
The governor/secretary of state make the voting regulations, the legislatures vote the gerrymandering.
Counties don't make any voting regulations that override state regulations. Anyway voting districts aren't cir scribed by county lines.
you're ing stupid and ignorant.
I really wish you would stop looking in the mirror while I'm trying to educate you.
If it was a lack of voting machines, they are divided up by voting history.
The story really doesn't say much except that the counties that had problems had an unusual 67% turnout.
Do you expect them to be psychic as to the number of machines to allocate?
It doesn't take a psychic to plan properly.
How else would they plan for an unusually high turnout?
Have you consider what the journalists don't mention in the articles?
Think about the probable relevant information not covered...
WC thinking the counties control the polling
Please explain how you extrapolate that lunacy...
What they don't control is uniform. Are you saying the state controls the individual counties?
Republicans in North Carolina are actually trying to bring back a version of the poll tax that was used to deny African-Americans the right to vote following Reconstruction.
This time, to suppress college student turnout on campus, they passed a bill that would require parents to pay $2,000 to $2,500 in additional taxes – just because their dependent son or daughter registered to vote at their dorm instead of at home. It's absolutely nonsensical.
The bill could be heading to Republican Governor Pat McCrory's desk for signature any day now. We have to stop it before we lose more voting rights in this key swing state.
