What the hell are we going to do? In less than ten years, we will be Mississippi.

What do you mean "will be"?

There's one statistic in the above document that should be remedied regardless: Voter registration and turnout. My wife and I are starting to get involved with efforts to turn out the vote.

One of the frustrations in our own efforts to vote is the constant moving of the polling place. Outside of districts being redrawn every ten^H^H^H couple of years, why should the polling stations move with such frequency? It may be small and easily remedied (we have voted in four different places in the last four elections).
