Valgkaos: Derfor er køerne så lange i svingstaterne Florida og Ohio

Over 6 timer lange vælgerkøer i de to vigtigste svingstater i den amerikanske valgkamp, er ikke noget uheld, men en bevidst strategi fra det republikanske parti, og kan ende med at afgøre valget.

ThinkProgress skriver:

There have been massive lines this weekend in the key swing states of Florida and Ohio, with some voters waiting six hours or more to cast their ballot.

This is not an accident. In Ohio, after attempting to cancel weekend early voting all together, Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) drastically rolled back early voting hours.

In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott (R) reduced the number of early voting days from 14 to 8.
