WHERE’S YOUR CONSCIENCE

Looks like the “let’s make crazy laws so voting is more difficult for students” bug is spreading around the country.  The latest outbreak is in North Carolina, where a state senate bill would keep parents from claiming their college students as a dependent if the student registers to vote any place other than their parent’s address.  In Ohio, state representatives recently tried to discourage colleges from providing out-of-state students with voter ID documents. Fortunately  other elected like Governor O’Malley in Maryland are expanding voter access by extending early voting periods, allowing online voter registration, and more. When will the voter suppression tactics stop? LIKE and REBLOG to spread the word and COMMENT to share your opinion.
