Thank you -- that was an interesting piece highlighting the blatant attempts by the GOP to suppress the votes of blacks and resident college students for decades.
It's good to see the Democrats, along with rights organizations, more proactively staying on top of it and taking the cases to court (and often winning) ahead of elections.
The Supreme Court's overturning of the Voters Right Act five years ago was a bad and puzzling decision to me. I hope to continue seeing the rights of voters covered in the media and defended strongly in the lower state courts.
