It seems to me Republicans are trying to make it hard to vote in some areas. This should never be the case. Both sides should be making it easier to vote.
I read about a town in Texas that is dominated by a college that mostly African American. They shut down the voting booth there and moved it twenty miles away. That doesn't sound far, but to a college kid who doesn't have a car and has to go to class, that's an issue. I think that's horrible. If that wasn't bad enough, the county there has a long history of trying to deny the college students the right to vote. They went to so far as to take it to the Supreme Court. If you have twenty thousand students who live there at school, they get to vote there. I don't care if the local population doesn't like it or not. They still have the right to vote, and that is where they live. Period.
