Virginia Trying to Suppress Student Votes


The Really: A new twist on voter suppression techniques?

Trying to keep track of the voter purges, suppression and casual attempts (flyers in Virginia using the old "Democrats vote on Nov. 5th" ruse) to hold down the vote are going to be coming in fast and furious. Some early voting places in Indiana are under attack by Republicans; Colorado was forced to reinstate thousands who had been purged on a technicality.

Students who used their dorm address as their residence have been booted from Virginia rolls. I will bet their thinking is also that cellphones are not "real" phones because they are NOT ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. And the internet is made out of tubes.
