A lot of us are in the habit of carrying voter registration applications around with us. We give them to people who may not be registered or may have changed residences since the last election.
Maybe we should take the time to talk about things like voter intimidation and other dirty tricks they may encounter when they head to the polls. Some people take politics that seriously.
They will lie about their opponents and smile while claiming their motivations are for the good of the country. If people will destroy jobs to make money, blame the problems of the nation on "those people" and repeatedly desert sick wives for younger women, do you think they won't cheat you out of a vote against them?
Caucus results from eight precincts in Iowa are missing and will likely never be found. Black people are being labeled as the prime recipients of food stamps even though only 22 percent of the recipients are black.
If a man abandons sick wives, do you think he'll have much problem ignoring sick and suffering strangers? Then, there are the candidates who would use the courts to force their way onto ballots they neglected to qualify for.
Voter registration is only the beginning, voter education is the rest of the story. When you talk to would be voters, encourage them to join the fight, then let them know there are people out there working everyday to keep them away from the polls.
