Jeffery Toobin and Long Lines

Another Jeffry Toobin article is in the New Yorker (yes, they still publish) which haphazardly mixes myth, fable and law.  Among them are this gem, that long lines in Ohio conspired to rob a more splendid victory from Democrats and that somehow the Voting Rights Act has anything to do with it.

“Obama won in Florida, too, but a recent study by Theodore Allen, an associate professor at Ohio State University, found that, in central Florida alone, long lines, exacerbated by a law that reduced the number of days for early voting, discouraged about fifty thousand people, most of them Democrats, from casting ballots.”

Naturally no Toobin article would be complete without a quote from the phony Brennan Center’s phony voter ID study.  Peruse, enjoy, laugh – here at the link.
