Texas students react to Disenfranchisement

Historically Texas plays a lot of redistricting games to keep their status as a republican state. The reality is that Texas, while still largely republican, has become more and more democrat over the years. Enough so, that the gerrymandering has become ridiculous, like in this case.
This time around, they put the polling place more than seven miles from Prairie View A&M university. Not too big a deal at first glance, since after all I have to drive to mine, as do most people. But college is a different world, many students don’t have cars, I know I didn’t and neither did most of my friends. So of course, to limit the number of inevitably democrat voters that could turn up, they put the polling facility far enough away to make it not “just a walk”.
Well, those A&M students walked… LOL. They shut down the highway as they marched the seven miles to cast their votes on the first day of early voting. Yeay students! Yeay right to vote! Yeay everything else that may actually save this country from its horrible downward spiral.
