TEMPORARY SETBACK FOR INCREASING VOTER TURNOUT After two courts - TopicsExpress



          

TEMPORARY SETBACK FOR INCREASING VOTER TURNOUT After two courts upheld expanding possibilities for participation in the upcoming election, the US Supreme Court turned it down. Read the message behind the story: • mistrust of the young, impoverished, people of color, and new voters • lack of appreciation for the difficulties some people have getting to the polls • fear of accommodating those whove not been accustomed to participating in fair and free society Ironically, this decision illustrates the flaws of previously restricted voting and how inclusive--rather than inhibited--elections are at the heart of true democracy. Hopefully it will provide greater incentive in the short-run for essential change in the long-run. usatoday/story/news/politics/2014/09/29/supreme-court-ohio-voting-rights/16427069/
