Ohio was a) open, b) held once Bernie had established that he was a plausible candidate and the race had gotten competitive (he'd just had the surprise upset in Michigan), yet youth turnout declined relative to 2008

could that have had anything to do with this 2015 state law?


Out-of-state college students, who often vote Democratic, would have to obtain an Ohio driver's license or license plate if they want to vote in Ohio, under a bill that passed the Legislature [...]

Democrats have called on Kasich to line-item veto the requirement, which was added to a bill that pays for repairs to roads and bridges. The provision states that new residents who register to vote in Ohio must obtain an Ohio driver's license and register their vehicles here within 30 days. Violators of the provision, who choose to keep a driver's license or license plate from another state, could face a minor misdemeanor.


I'm guessing that kasich did not line-item veto that requirement.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

the fact that you have to get a state driver's license immediately after moving to a new state is kinda dumb and extremely stupid in general

they're trying to fight voter suppression, but they also essentially abandoned state-level politics under Obama, so they no longer hold enough power to do anything besides whine ineffectually when a Republican governor signs a bill that was passed by both houses of the Republican-dominated state legislature

hmm, that sounds kind of familiar

another whiskey-the-juvie gem from old thread:

quote:

one would think that the fact that Obamacare repeal is really just a $800b tax cut for the wealthy would perhaps hint that Obamacare itself perhaps was a program to redistribute money from the wealthy to the poor?

if by "redistribute money" you mean shoveling $500 billion to private insurers, and if by "poor" you mean "private insurers," and and if by "wealthy" you mean "people making $17,000/year or slightly higher" then yes, one would think that.

that addresses the 18-21 portion, maybe (not like Ohioans don't go in-state), but what about 22-28?

New York and California demand that states get delegations based strictly on population, where Wyoming gets one delegate and California gets 78, and everything gets passed by a convention-wide majority vote
