Yes, and great news to reinforce the trend!

As of now, 30% of the 2008 Democratic voting bloc will have access to Sunday voting for this election! Of course, Republicans are saying they'll be banning Sunday voting in next year's session.


Can't we avoid so much of the race-baiting that follows by just agreeing that everyone in a given state should be entitled to vote on a set of given days and times, regardless of what city/county they live in?

I disagree with the Republican reasoning behind their opposition, but I don't think it's fair for some people to be able to vote on Sunday and not others, or for some people to have their polls open until 8pm while others have to vote before 7.

The Republican-managed Secretary of State's office has for years been perfectly complicit and has allowed that all 159 counties are allowed to set their own early voting locations and times in addition to what is minimally-required

See, in Texas, our Republicans are at least shrewd enough to throw local control under the bus when it conflicts with their ideological or political goals.

Regardless, it still strikes me as almost against the concept of equal protection under the law to say people who live in County X will have more opportunities to vote in a given election than people who live in County Y.
