Kerry Calls For Expanded Voting In Nevada Caucuses, Blasts Historic Right-Wing Opposition

Recently, we had a heated controversy here over my view that the Pennsylvania primary discriminates against Pennsylvanians, by being held after many candidates are eliminated from contention and usually after each party has already selected its nominee. I said I would like to see more voting rights for Pennsylvanians than currently exist.

2004 Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry has recently weighed in over a similar controversy in Nevada, about whether Nevada's pathbreaking workplace voting sites in Las Vegas should be banned in the aftermath of the active Culinary Workers Union endorsement of Barack Obama. To the best of my knowledge, workplace voting is something that does not exist anywhere in the country outside of Nevada at this time. Kerry clearly also clearly favors voting rights expansion.

Kerry posted his remarks today on the TPM Special Guests Blog, at http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/specialguests/2008/jan/16/let_the_people_vot....
