Do you see the logic?

Voter suppression is a misnomer; every American (with only a few exceptions) has the right to vote. Stand in line? Boo-hoo, I've stood in line many times to exercise my right to vote. People who are physically unable to stand in line get special consideration by poll workers so that they don't have to.

If students can't figure out how and where to vote, they have no business voting in the first place.

I completely disagree with you. Making changes which can be predicted to reduce voter participation is suppression to me. You may not agree with me but it isn't a matter of what it is or isn't. If it were done to *most* voters in an area then I would agree that it wasn't suppression, however when one looks at who is inconvenienced it is rarely those of substance or the lever of inconvenience doesn't meet the level of a large group of other people.

I should have included that the students were given incorrect information by election officials. You cannot fault someone for trusting someone who is supposed to be making sure that everyone has the information they need to vote. If you blame the students for other people's mistakes we might as well just drop that one.

Here's the thing. I don't believe in special concessions for any group. If you have the RIGHT to vote, then you are in no way "suppressed." You may require assistance but you are in no way prevented from voting. As with so many things now, the many must conform to the wants of the FEW. So freakin' tiresome all the whining, whining, WHINING.
