"CENTERFIELD " john fogerty

Most people follow sports of one kind or another. Baseball, Football, Basketball, Soccer, you get the idea.
That do all sports have in common at any level.
The rules .....

How could we ever play if every county could make up it own rules? Lake County gave you three strikes, Geauga County gave you four strikes, Ashtabula County only gave you two. Same with everything from football to NASCAR all have to follow the same rules. It works.

Now lets talk politics and elections. Following the rules set down by sport leagues or bodies all rules are the same. Let's not bring up the designated hitter presently.

Shouldn't all counties in the State of Ohio have the same rules when it comes to voting?
Why do Republicans want to increase days to vote in heavily Republican counties but want to shorten voting days in Democratic counties? Doesn't seem fair but its legal.


Now, in heavily Democratic cities like Cleveland, Columbus, Akron and Toledo, early voting hours will be limited to 8 am until 5 pm on weekdays beginning on October 1, with no voting at night or during the weekend, when it’s most convenient for working people to vote. Republican election commissioners have blocked Democratic efforts to expand early voting hours in these counties, where the board of elections are split equally between Democratic and Republican members. Ohio Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted has broken the tie by intervening on behalf of his fellow Republicans.


‘I cannot create unequal access from one county board to another, and I must also keep in mind resources available to each county,” Husted said in explaining his decision to deny expanded early voting hours in heavily Democratic counties. Yet in solidly Republican counties like Warren and Butler, GOP election commissioners have approved expanded early voting hours on nights and weekends.

Maybe after rethinking my sports analogy I might be wrong. As in Baseball the big market cities are the "haves" and small market cities like Cleveland are the "have nots".

In Basketball players can manipulate the system to put together three or four future Hall of Famers to form "Super" teams with the rest of the teams viewed as calendar fillers.

But keep in mind they all have the same length of time and number of innings or miles that must be completed.

It's sad when a political party see as the only way to win elections ......is to simply cheat.
Yes, Cheat.

You have to wonder if all those proud and brave Americans who fought and died to keep this country free along with it equal rights intact must think?

I've heard a lot about voter fraud lately. I guess there are different forms of voter fraud? Right Jon Husted?
