Democrats should be really aware that it affects them the most, especially in African American and Hispanic American communities. This was on Katie Couric’s program yesterday:

And this comment from Brad Blog:
CBS’ coverage doesn’t even note that many states have now contracted the same private companies who did such a crappy job on their voting machines (companies like Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia) to manage, with the same lack of oversight, entire newly computerized state voting rolls. Names will be dropping from rolls this year by error or by evil…
There is more, and ongoing, information about Voter Suppression at a site that has been created to track the problem, The Voter Suppression Wiki. It is worth bookmarking and checking regularly.
Now we have to ge the Democrats to check it out as well… and DO SOMETHING!
.
Make sure you are registered to vote by the deadline in your state, and find out where you vote on election day. Many voters went to the polls in the primary election and discovered they weren’t on the registration rolls. Don’t let that happen to you.
