Your Turn: Early voting guarantees registration, shortens Election Day lines for others
Oct. 1, 2008Four years ago, many Ohioans were forced to wait up to 11 hours in line at the polls on Election Day. Some finally made it to the front of the line only to discover they weren't eligible to vote because they had not signed for mailings from election officials. According to House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers (D-MI), the net effect was that three percent of all Ohio voters who showed up to vote on Election Day were forced to leave without casting a ballot. Most affected were inner city voters and college students, groups which predominantly vote Democratic. The three percent of voters turned away accounted for 55,000 more people than Bush's margin of victory in Ohio.
Your Turn: Columnist finally realizes effects of 'imposed morality'
Oct. 1, 2008In the past, I have quite frankly been unimpressed by Ms. Herzog's columns. I have a sinking suspicion that, for several quarters when first hired, she followed Ann Coulter a little bit too closely. (I hesitate to say that she plagiarized, but it was certainly suspicious when Ms. Coulter's columns the previous week shared topics and sources with Ms. Herzog's columns.) Frequently, I was outraged that she did not consider the wider implications of her moral stances.
