beautiful sight

In an effort to suppress the vote from this historically black college, Prairie View A&M students were assigned a polling place 7 miles from campus. Hundreds of students organized to walk together to the polls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvDAiWWuvRg

Note that they've taken over one direction of an interstate!

Winning by keeping those unlikely to support you is a disgraceful tactic well-honed by certain Americans who fear "too much" democracy. In my own state, two simultaneous moves by the powers that be were to require government-issued photo ID in order to vote (out of concerned for a form of voter fraud that a state official had to concede in court had never been alleged in even a single instance) and to "streamline" the state government by closing many offices of the agency that handles driver's licenses and state ID cards - not so coincidentally in cities with large black populations.

The video shows an inspiring, positive response to so much ugly, cynical politics...
