1. K & R

Thanks for publicizing this issue and site. I'm following it, and am trying to act early by writing to my Attorney General in Wisconsin (J.B. Van Hollen) that is pushing some of this vote suppression. I hope that others will also take action.

2. why doesnt this get more attention

There's got to be a reason why the main stream media doesn't give this issue much attention. Anybody have any ideas?

3. It's not just the media.

Democratic politicians and even some of the few Republicans who are honest for that matter should be screaming this from the rooftops. Instead we hear only crickets chirping. It really makes me wonder because this has been going on for some time now (8 years that we know of)and only shortly before an election do we witness some flaccid attempts to bring it into public view. This is one thing the Democrats should have taken head on after gaining the majority in Congress. I really don't have an explanation for it except to think that they just don't care.
