Who can justify closing restrooms at voting locals on election day?

This is nothing but outright voting right manipulation by a desperate republican party -- a party that clearly hates democracy in any form.

It's good to know your enemies!

Frankly, I don't care if it's green or beige. Why close polling location restrooms on election day? What's the purpose?

Have you an answer, "buddy"?

What does this have to do with "desperate republicans"? Is the supervisor of elections a republican?

I'm going to go out on a limb here based on statistical data that she isn't a republican. She could be, its possible she wants to disenfranchise black people and Cubans lol

Now you're becoming a joke Wordslinger. A laughing stock.

Miami-Dade is a Progressive stronghold in Florida. But, THANK YOU for pointing out WHO TRUELY HATES DEMOCRACY IN ANY FORM.

As a confirmed Socialist/Communist, we can all understand why you would support a loss of Democracy in favor of a Socialist/Communist society. A society where everyone shares misery.

That sure isn't what you said in your initial post is it..."buddy"?

Once again, our good friend Wordslinger is backpedaling as fast as he can.

Hey, maybe Wordslinger knows something that we don't know and the supervisor of elections of Miami Dade County IS a desperate republican!   

OK, maybe I'm mistaken about the political leanings of the election official in this incident. But still, regardless of party affiliation, what justifies closing restrooms at polling venues on election day?

MAYBE?

My understanding is that it has to do with handicap accessibility. Since not all polling places have restroom accommodations for handicapped people, they are just closing all the restroom facilities at polling places. That's bureaucrats for you!!

Wear a depends if it bothers you that much.

Are the restrooms closed to every one or just democrats.   

It was all Obama's fault he's closing down public restrooms during elections now because he isn't getting his way on the budgets.

On February 11, 2014, Assistant County Attorney Shanika Graves wrote Dubin to say “the Department’s policy is not to permit access to restrooms at polling sites on election days.”
But when CBS4 contacted the Elections Department for comment Thursday, Chief Deputy Supervisor of Elections Christina White wrote “In actuality, the Elections Department does not have a specific policy for bathroom usage… Public facilities of course have restrooms that are open to the public. In the case of private facilities, we defer to the owner/operators policy on the use of their restroom.”
Dubin says all the commode confusion is cause for concern.
“For them to now say they’ve never heard of such a policy gives one pause as to exactly how this county runs the Elections Department and its County Attorney’s Office.”
To Dubin’s point about restrooms for people with disabilities, White wrote “the facility is held to the standards applicable to that type of facility.”
Dubin said certain facilities, like places of worship which are often used as polling places, are exempt from the requirements stipulated in the American with Disabilities Act.
A spokesperson for the Broward Supervisor of Elections Office said the county has no such policy restricting restroom use.

Sounds like a few guns going off half cocked down there in south Florida.

“In order to avoid discriminating against voters with disabilities, they decided the policy they would put in effect would be to close restrooms..."

In other news, the public library has decided to shut its doors in order to avoid discriminating against voters who are blind.

Sirens on fire trucks and police cars will be discontinued because they discriminate against the deaf and as a cost saving measure.

I don't know...I still live by that edict in the old church where I was told to hold it until the last amen. We were there on the Lord's business...not to romp up and down the aisles to the bathroom.

Maybe the SofE is a hardline fundamentalist.

  
   

Never mind ...

Wordslinger and his beloved Socialist/Communist DailyKOS would have you believe they are closed by Republicans so that Democrats can's go to the restroom.

You just can't make these things up.

Considering how many southern states have enacted new voter laws designed to cut down democratic votes (this is no longer speculation -- republican leaders have admitted the strategy), it isn't that far a stretch to assume that if polling place restrooms are going to be closed on election day, the target would be voters who are also forced to wait hours in line to vote -- another strategy of the republicans designed to offset the fact they don't have Hispanic or African voters ... or women, for that matter. LOL

Wordslinger whines that Republicans are closing bathrooms in Miami so Democrats can't vote? I don't know what one has to do with the other but I guess Democrats have to go to the can to find out for whom to vote.

Then the fact that Miami is predominately Progressive so then Wordslinger says...oh forget it....

Now everyone is trying to figure what in the heck he is talking about and how DEMOCRATS locking up the johns has to do with REPUBLICANS trying to have only qualified people vote. Which is a totally alien concept to Democrats.

Must be some really strong drugs. Sorry about that Wordslinger.

Are there segregated restrooms in Miami-Dade County---One for Republicans and one for Democrats??
