Writing about voting rights

I really want to write a big long post about the constitutional history of voting rights, how those issues played out in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections and how they are playing out this year. Unfortunately, all I have time for is this little note saying I -want- to, because I need to read for school instead of having interesting (e:strip) political conversations. It's very frustrating that there's no real writing in school, only a big fat final exam in each class. Yep, one test. Completely anonymous so in-class participation doesn't count. The classes are 85 people anyway - twice the size of my high school graduating class. Bleh.

So, in lieu of interesting constitutional discussion, here's an awesome, heartbreaking video about voter suppression in Ohio in 2004.
