The long lines in the suppressed voting places need to become an event. Provide one thousand wheelchairs so no-one has to stand. Cycle the wheelchairs to the end of the lines. Lend magazines and umbrella. Have a motorhome with toilets nearby. Have volunteer line sitters, cell phone chargers, coffee and donuts. Most inportantly have volunteer lawyer, celebrities and huge local news coverage. Have street musicians wanderring around. Make waiting enjoyable. Be non-partisan and legal. No electioneering. Line party is for anyone in the line. Let people enjoys fighting voters suppression. <br /><br />I personnally will finance a line party in NC or Fla. Who else will do the same? doug moorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-76087519693071505912013-08-16T14:44:15.151-05:002013-08-16T14:44:15.151-05:00Once a resident of Boone, but I live in Maine now....Once a resident of Boone, but I live in Maine now.

But you forgot to mention how many more hours everyone will have to stand in line, many times in the rain, because 3 precincts now have to vote at one. Maybe we'll see you standing in line. You can bet I'll be challenging your right to vote at all -- which I can do now thanks to Gov. McCrory. What a wonderful state the allegedly pro-Democratic Republican party has turned NC into.

But if you were an American who believes in democracy and the right for every American to exercise his constitutionally-given right to vote, well, not so much. What disgusting, totalitarian tactics on shameful display by the new Board of Elections at the courthouse this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-20424795208401395712013-08-13T06:40:46.990-05:002013-08-13T06:40:46.990-05:00Anonymous 9:13, you forget thee Applecart and that...Anonymous 9:13, you forget thee Applecart and that it seems to be no problem for them to walk that far to a bar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-47554916260904354012013-08-13T06:39:13.305-05:002013-08-13T06:39:13.305-05:00Ironic that the very people that have been the sou...Ironic that the very people that have been the source of Templeton's wealth (student rentals), are the people that he and his party wish to disenfranchise.
