According to this article on the event:

  • The commission which screwed up the ballots order was composed entirely of Democrats
  • All members of the commission took responsibility for the failure (meaning they didn’t identify who actually made the mistake)
  • One commissioner blamed the failure on inadequate training from the Secretary of State’s office (which conflicts with the taking of responsibility for it)
  • When interviewed, the commission was unable to list any concrete steps they had taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again
  • (There’s no mention of any discussion of extending the polling hours)

So it really, really sounds like a bunch of Democrats disenfranchised the black voters of Hind county, then failed to take responsibility for the screw-up, then failed to take it seriously enough to actually fix it.

Happy to review any evidence to the contrary; this is the first I’ve heard of this debacle but the OP doesn’t seem to be backed up by the facts here.

Anyone have evidence of the Republicans’ alleged actions here?

So a commission makes a mistake and this should lead to voter disenfranchisement? Why do you think that’s fine? Completely reasonable to request a small extension of 1 hour when the commission screws up (which inevitably means will happen sometimes independent of party affiliation).

Of course such committees take joint responsibility rather than pointing the finger at one person. These people are essentially volunteers and you will need people to volunteer in the future.
