The Repuglicans already have a plan to steal 2016 from the people: Ian Millhiser and Josh Israel report that Jon Husted, the secretary of state of Ohio who spent so much time trying to suppress Democratic voter turnout this year, has an Electoral College plan for 2016 that he no doubt thinks could turn the tables in favor of Republicans. In fact, if his proposal to divide Ohio's electoral votes by congressional district had been in place this year in Ohio and five other states where Obama won the popular vote, we would now be talking about President-elect Mitt Romney. If the system he wants had been in place nationwide in the past, we would never have had a President Carter or a President Kennedy, and we would have had a President Hancock and a few others not now on the roster. Near every presidential election, there is a flurry of talk about doing something about the Electoral College, from tweaky reform to outright abolition. A few weeks after Election Day, the talk usually goes away. In Husted's case, ...

A big shout out to those who worked so hard to re-elect President Obama. I know I may have left someone out but at least we should recognize and thank those who threw their heart and soul into this important re-election effort. Governors Rick Scott (R-FL), Rick Snyder (R-MI), John Kalich (R-OH), Bob McDonald, or should that be Old Trans-vaginal Bob (R-VA), Tom Corbett (R-PA), Scott Walker (R-WI) whose anti-minority and voter suppression agenda so energized the Democratic turn out for the President. And, not to be forgotten, a special very special thank you for the super aggressive anti-Hispanic agenda of Jan Brewer (R-AZ) that energized the Hispanic vote as far away as Michigan, Virginia and Florida. It even energized the Cuban Hispanic vote in Florida for the President that is normally taken for granted by the Republican Party. And, I would be amiss to forget the great effort of the Ohio Secretary of State, Jon Husted (R-OH). Thanks Jon, keep up the great work. An additional nod should be given t ...

I will NEVER say anything like this again so here goes: Ann Coulter was right! Last year at CPAC she said "If we don't run Chris Christie, Romney will be the nominee and we will lose." This was the one time I ever heard Ann say something sensible. To the climate change deniers, voter suppressors, "small" government proponents with way too much governmental interest in women's private parts, supporters of a straw man candidate who bent in countless directions countless times in one day (sometimes in one hour); and to *** Morris, Sheldon Adelson, the Koch brothers, Grover Norquist, Rick Scott, Jon Husted and his evil twin John Kasick - bite me. To borrow a phrase from the interwebs: we have seen a rebuke of Neanderthals (I'm looking at you, "legitimate rape" Todd Aiken and "rape is just another form of conception" Paul Ryan) and pray fervently that we shall never see such dark days again.

NEW YORK MINUTE This piece has nothing to do with New York or a minute. It is somewhat inspired by the Don Henley (formerly of The Eagles) song of the same name, but only because of a couple of memorable lyrics, “Somebody’s going to Emergency… Somebody’s going to Jail”. As I watch the early voting take place, the sometimes 8 hour waits in line, bomb threats, shortened early voting with no pretense other than making voting harder and to sway an election. Onerous new ID laws exist, tantamount in some cases to an illegal poll tax. While all this is done at the behest of the usual suspects. This voter suppression is being carried out by the state and I’m thinking that somebody needs to really go to jail. What would happen if a criminal complaint was filed against Jon Husted in Ohio, Ric Scott in Florida or everyone in a state legislature that voted for these suppression efforts? The closest we came was when Jon Husted would have been required to personally appear before a judge to show cause why h ...

Nov. 5: Jon Husted told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing he never tried to limit early voting in Ohio and insists he wants more voters to cast ballots. The Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Mark Naymik and Slate’s Dave Weigel join to talk about the 1.6 million people who have voted early in Ohio.

Well folks, do we like having other countries laughing at the USA and its arrogant stance about voting and human rights? We must set up non-partisan oversights in every state because these grown men cannot do the right thing. This is high scool at its worst except it walks all over our constitutional rights rather than just the bully messing up your homework. Jon Husted gets my vote as someone that needs to be removed from office by the Federal Court system. He obviously values promises from the Republican Party to re-elect him if he is an obstructionist, rather than serve his state and deserve it. Perhaps full and honest service is beneath him or above his intellect.

Hat when you thought we knew all the Republican tricks to make voting more complicated, more bureaucratic and more exclusive, Jon Husted came up with an additional step. Four days before the election, Ohio’s Secretary of State decided to add an extra step to the process for people who are voting with provisional ballots. Under the previous rules, Election Officials had to complete all the paperwork that goes with a provisional ballot. But not in Jon Husted’s Ohio. He suddenly decided late Friday afternoon, to put the onus on voters to complete the paper work. According to a report by Brandon Blackwell, Husted ordered county officials to discount provisional ballots if the accompanying paperwork is not filled out properly. According to the same report, voter advocacy groups challenged this latest stunt by Husted in court. Fingers crossed that the Courts will smack down this latest stunt by a Secretary of State who has put part ...

n a one-sentence decision reading: "The application for stay presented to Justice Kagan and by her referred to the Court is denied," the U.S. Supreme Court has extricated itself from a case that could decide the presidential election and increased the chances that President Obama wins Ohio and the election. Briefly recapping the situation, early voting has already started in Ohio. However, the Republican Secretary of State, Jon Husted, decided to close the polls on the Saturday, Sunday, and Monday before election day except for military families. They would be allowed to vote then but nobody else would. The Obama campaign took the state to court on the grounds that there was no valid reason to allow one class of voters to get three extra days and not others. Husted knew very well, of course, that the majority of people who vote the weekend before the election are Democrats, many of them lower-income voters who can't take off from work on election day. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the stat ...

President Barack Obama has apparently been using a fraudulent Social Security Number for the last 25 years. On July 2 of this year, Daniels filed suit in Geauga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court demanding that Jon Husted, Ohio secretary of state, remove Obama's name from the ballot until Obama can prove the validity of his Social Security Number. Husted has responded by seeking to dismiss Daniels' complaint, claiming that it has no basis in law. Daniels fired back that President Barack Obama has violated Ohio's identity theft statute that "expressly prohibits the use of another's 'personal identifying information' and expressly lists the use of another's 'Social Security Number' as prohibited." She did not expect much out of Husted, and her expectations appear to have been met. Friday, Daniels took another tack. She filed a sworn affidavit under Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 2935.09, which allows a private citizen "having knowledge of the facts" to request prosecution or arrest of an individual who has commit ...
