Although the Nevada election laws have changed since 2004 regarding challenging voters legitimacy, the GOP and its forces of Evil can still impact the vote on November 4. Here's how:
Republican operatives, who live in solid Democratic precincts, arrive on Election Day morning with a big list of people from the precinct they plan to challenge.
And challenge they do.Even though they lose every single challenge the time-consuming process makes the line grow longer and longer. Because the Election Departments in each county have "accidentally" put too few voting machines out at Democrat majority precincts, the lines are long from the get go. Soon Republican created a back log snakes out of the school and around the block.
When voters during lunch break show up to vote they see the long line, and plan to just come back after work. Of course after work the line is even longer, and many people simply walk away from the voting process because of the long wait in the cold.
And because this process was executed only in strong Democrat precincts, the net result Statewide is that less Democrats vote.
HOW TO STOP IT:
Two Words: Early Voting! The more people that turn out in Nevada from October 18-31 and early vote, the less of a chance of success the Republicans have for this trick on Election Day.

Actually there are several things you can do. You can ask for a "provisional" ballot and you can ask for an "emergency" ballot.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you think there is funny business going on you can call 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-678-8683) to file a complaint on the precinct which is supposed to be acted on immediately. More here.
I always do absentee since I can have the amendments right in front of me to refer to.
911 is a joke.

if 50 Precincts in Washoe have crap going on, how will the Elections Dept stop it? They can't, even if they want to.
