If you have followed the voting rights controversies in Alabama specifically, you would know. Also, North Carolina. Follow the law suits and decisions of the SC that have allowed the voting rights act of 1965 to be curtailed…..Follow the actions of state legislatures as they have reduced voting opportunities by limiting poll availabilities for its citizens….including here in Iowa….specifically “absentee” voting…..by unilaterally deciding “straight ticket” voting is some how detrimental……The assault on voter’s rights has been broad and yet targeted. I suggest you do some of your own research, and perhaps, wake the phuque up to what is happening……ALEC and Republicans are busy at work.
