It's up to the African American and Latino communities to fight this civil rights battle for everyone. I don't doubt for one minute if repugs get control they will try to find a way to spread the voter suppression to others - namely women. Women are a big problem for repugs and have been for years. They would like votes to be cast by white men, just like it used to be. I hope the turnout is better this time around and I hope if Obama gets in, something will be done about this fucked up voting process!
