OCG SPECIAL "Voter Suppression: Fixing the 2012 Election"
b'More than a dozen states have passed new laws designed to impede voters at every step of the electoral process through nefarious voter registration requirements.\\xa0 If these laws stand, it is estimated that more than 25% of the Black people who voted for Barack Obama will be ineligible or restricted from voting in 2012.\\xa0 Many of these laws are in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1985.\\nOf all of these barriers, the most pervasive threat to voting rights are new identification restrictions, which have so far passed in five states. \\n\\xa0\\xa0 "Voter Suppression:\\xa0 The New Poll Tax"\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Our Guest:\\xa0 Judith Browne Dianis\\n \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Co-Director, Advancement Project\\n We will be taking your calls and responding to your chatroom discussion.\\n \\xa0\\nEmail Us:\\xa0 OCGINFO@ourcommonground.com\\n Twitter:\\xa0 @JaniceOCG\\n Facebook: OUR COMMON GROUND with Janice Graham\\n\\n OCG COMMUNITY FORUM\\nWebsite'
