Richmond, VA - The Virginia NAACP (web|news) is suing Governor Tim Kaine (web), arguing that the state failed to prepare for an unprecedented turnout of voters in next week's presidential election. The complaint, filed late Monday in U.S. District Court in Richmond, alleges that with record increases in voter registration, the state failed to provide enough polling places. The NAACP is asking the court to put the federal government in charge of the election in Virginia, to reallocate voting machines to precincts most likely to have long waiting lines and to keep polls open for an additional two hours.

Yeah, but some of those folks have to vote 5 or 6 times, so it's going to be a long enough day as it is for them.

Speak English dude (or at least resemble a level of fluency in any language), I can't even understand what half the crap you post on here is supposed to be saying.
