A picture of voters lining up for 6 hours to vote in the 2012 election in Democrat-heavy Miami-Dade Florida is accompanied by the caption :
"New rule prohibits voters in Miami-Dade from using the restroom, no matter how long the line." h/t Kev
Apparently the decision to close all restrooms was a direct response to a request from a disability rights lawyer regarding the accessibility of polling place bathrooms to those with disabilities.
So now people with disabilities are not being especially singled out for discrimination and everyone is free to choose between voting and peeing.
Well it's just crazy old Florida, right? Couldn't happen here.
The thing I found interesting was - when did people stop being outraged about lining up for six hours to vote?

P.S. Dear Google : Having typed the terms "Miami-Dade" and "restroom" into your search box, I have now received all the advertising I will ever require for PortaPotty and Depends. Thanks.
