How is Equal Protection Voter Suppression?

If Nevada Democrats are going to provide workers at the Strip greater access to voting than voters at other work places, then that is a violation of the equal protection clause of the constitution.

Further, if Nevada Democrats are going to grant greater or different weight to votes cast at the 9 Strip Precincts, then that is a violation of the principal of one person one vote.

Just because a lawsuit has a political motive does not mean the case is without merit. The case should prevail.

Note: I support Edwards and voted already in California.

The Equal Protection Clause argument against how delegates are apportioned in the 9 Strip precints will prevail because the Constitution forbids granting one vote more weight than anothers.

This is based off my reading of an article relating the the calculus for determining delegates is different for standard precints than the 9 Strip precints.

Note: I'm a lawyer but do not practice constitutional law. I support Edwards.
