Voter Suppression in OH-4

Election results - thrilling. But there's another story here, about voter suppression. What happened to me yesterday was only a tiny piece of a much larger pattern (which won't surprise anyone who was disenfranchised in '00 or '04). Over at Daily Kos, Tim R. wrote uphis experience, which was horrifying, as a poll watcher in the OH-4.

Disenfranchisement can be subtle. It doesn't take an army. All you have to do is make it a little harder for some to vote than others. That's all.
