Republicans lose ground for second straight day in early voting, maintain turnout percentage
Las Vegas Sun ^ | 11/31/2010 | Jon Ralston

Republicans lost ground to the Democrats in the urban counties on the largest and last day of early voting Friday, surely giving Democrats hope that a surge to blunt the GOP momentum could carry over into Election Day.

The Democrat GOTV operation, particularly in Nevada this year, is incredibly formidable.

Early voting helps them a lot too. It serves to blunt their enthusiasm gap issues as they can spend weeks reminding people to come to the polls. They will literally call everyone who ever even thought about voting Democrat on a daily basis till that person can tell the GOTV worker they’ve voted.

This should serve to remind people just how hard it will be to dislodge the likes of Harry Reid. The left will fight till the last drop of blood is spilled to retain power (or take more of it). It is easy to look at how bad the economy is and assume the Republicans will win, but one must remember almost half of America’s voters now pay no federal taxes and disturbing numbers are dependent on the nanny state.

What the heck is all this "early voting" BS? I even see FReepers who talk about how they just finished voting "early."

Folks, there can BE NO POSSIBLE REASON for "early voting" except as a means to manipulate turnout or votes down the road. If you can't plan your vacation or work schedule around the ONE day every two years that you vote, then forfeit your vote. My folks got into the habit of voting "absentee ballot" not because they would be gone on election day, but because they just didn't want to bother with going to the polls. THEY REGRET THAT NOW and like me, now believe that absentee ballots should re reserved for extreme exceptions.

As for "early voting" -- what a racket!

VOTING IS PRECIOUS and needs to be protected and kept exclusive, and the best way to protect against fraud and manipulation is to have everyone vote -- with showing of photo ID MANDATORY! -- on the same day.

If you don't value your voting franchise enough to go to some little trouble to exercise it, then you don't really need to vote.

Las Vegas is another mob town, and the Las Vegas Sun cooperates with them.

"... in the urban counties ...

Hmmm ... now, let me see ... How can I put this delicately so as not to offend the obdurate PC types ... Let me give it a shot:

Is there any chance that the voters in "urban counties" -- much like the voters in other urban areas nationwide -- share a certain pigmentation that would cause them to vote for an Obamunist even if the guy came out in favor of skinning cats alive and drinking their pulsating blood?

Great Post and I agree 1000%. 6AM-6PM the first Tuesday in November. Period.

But we know that early voting was designed just for the purpose of defrauding the vote. This is another area where the laws need to be REPEALED back to 2000.

Number of “registered” Republicans vs number of “registered” Dems voting?

Not cast ballots?

Yep! It's nice to know I'm in good company.

RE your tagline, "Let's get Physical," votes and the judges who will or won't uphold the integrity of the voting process are the ONLY LINE between civility and physical conflict in defense of our domestic freedom. I believe that America has reached the point where the minority has taken control of political offices, and the MSM has been so successful in creating the illusion that Republicans and conservatives are hopelessly outnumbered in the general population, that we roll over and whine in lament: "How could the majority of our fellow Americans be so stupid as to elect these liberal clowns?" Thus we falsely accuse many of our fellow Americans, and hold them in contempt on false pretenses.

The TRUTH is that Liberals and Democrats have to cheat to win, which proves that they are the minority. WE ARE THE MAJORITY. When we find ourselves being ruled by a minority because of vote fraud that judges refuse to fight, the ONLY ALTERNATIVE will be physical conflict. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID CIVIL UNREST will be by eradicating vote fraud, demanding photo ID, making one have to go out of one's way to register to vote (no more registering idiots at tables outside of grocery stores or when they get their drivers' licenses) and requiring PROOF that voting rolls are purged of voters who have died. When that happens, the majority -- THAT'S US -- will win.

There are certainly a lot of stupid voters in Democrats and Liberals, but not enough of them. If there were, Democrats wouldn't have to cheat.

This "Early Voting" BS has to be stopped.

Why not just let union goons and ACORN get illegals to vote all year long?.

Whats the point of having an "Election Day" if the election is already stolen by then.

You vote when you want, and I’ll vote when I want. We voted early, were required to show photo ID, and then signed under penalty of Perjury.

There was a wait of nearly 15 minutes. Our voter machines produce a printed audit trail, too.

I earned the right to vote whenever I’m legally permitted to do so. You’ve got a God given right to express your opinion and I’m willing to fight to the death to preserve that right.

It’s also my right to tell you that you’re full of crap. I’m exercising that right now.

Best,

L
