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.
There is a reason for that in FL... early voters typically vote democrat. Also, traditionally black people like to vote on Sundays after church together as a group activity. Gov. Skeletor made sure that can't happen. When lines for early voting were brought to his attention with pleas to extend it his reaction was its no big deal.
