Re: “So how do you "instill confidence" by first having only a single polling place in Dodge City, KS, which has 13,000 registered voter, where the average for the state is only 1,200 people per polling place? And then how do you "instill confidence" by putting that single polling place OUTSIDE of the city, over a mile from the nearest bus stop? And then how do you "instill confidence" by sending notices to the people who have just registered to vote for the first time, that had the WRONG address for that single polling place? Could it be because Dodge City is the ONLY city in the State of Kansas where the majority of the registered voters are of Hispanic ancestry?


What you've written is conveniently incomplete and incorrect.

Dodge City Kansas has a second polling place on Gunsmoke Street that is open weekdays for three straight weeks prior to the election. Tell us again how downtown voters are being disenfranchised by the town? - Because this looks pretty... damn... convenient.

The old civic center polling place has been eliminated as a polling place NOT to disenfranchise anyone, but because construction between its parking lot and the civic center itself makes it dangerous. There were limited alternatives because Dodge City is a small town and federal law states that polling places must be handicap accessible. The Expo Center that was selected instead has a huge parking lot that can handle thousands of people, reducing the overcrowding problem that has you so worried.

The Expo Center is closer to Latino neighborhoods than to any white neighborhoods.

And then there's Waller County, TX, where the ALL White county administration has been trying for nearly 30 years to prevent the students at the majority-black Prairie View A&M University, a taxpayer-supported state university, from voting in the county. Even after a 1979 US Supreme Court ruling stated that college students are allowed to register AND vote where they go to school, the county has consistently ignored the court's ruling and every election they try another way to keep the students from voting. How does that "instill confidence" that the results of the election represents what the majority of AMERICANS want?
