You! Yes you! You might not be aware of it, but something is happening. There are forces out there that want to take away your voter registration ability by tactics used in order to keep African Americans away from the polls during Jim Crow. The youtube video, whether you watched it or not, is about a kid who is going to get his voter id with his mom. He needs to provide his bank statement, which the mom comments is infringing on her privacy. Since when did you need to have a bank statement, and show some activity to vote? Well apparently now you do in Wisconsin. Though the kid does get his voter id, this video poses many questions. What about the homeless population who are not in shelters? What about the people who are eligible to vote but cannot because they don’t have a driver’s license? Will this stand up in court?

There are people who want to restrict students’ rights to vote to. I have not developed much information on this issue, but you know, just be aware.
