No, minorities (but you can use black since that seems to be your focus) work more in non traditional, non 9-5 jobs. They work 2 part time jobs. Allowing voting to be done over a few days or longer hours allows those minorities (or I guess blacks to you) to vote.

Can't have it both ways.

"refusing to allow people to automatically be registered to vote when they get drivers licenses (and you can comment on that if you want)"

Fine. Here in CT, you are saying that the GOP is preventing automatic registration? How is that, when the GOP doesn't control anything?Not in Conn. But other states. In fact, I believe that someone just proposed that in Conn.

I would suppor that, by th eway, that automatic registration. I reject th enotion that the GOP is blocking it, at least here in CT, because the Dems have conteolled the legislature as long as I have been alive.

no, not in Conn.
