So, how much do you know about voter fraud vs. disenfranchisement? During our most recent elections a month ago, there was quite the uproar over the shutting down of early voting in states where it accommodated many elderly, handicapped, and non-White voters. There have been exposés written about the voter id laws disenfranchising a large number of college students, people who have recently moved, and often, non-White voters. Coalitions have been formed, accusations have been made… and now, Al Jazeera America clears just a little bit more up regarding the tactics used to check for voter fraud and whether or not they’re actually fair.
