Oh my. You mean people of color or living in poverty are treated poorly, contemptuously, inhumanely, in the United States, especially on election day? Here's news: that has been going on for two 4 hundred years. It has been supported by the Supreme Court: remember Dred Scott decision? I think Dred Scott was a cited precedent in "Citizens United". Blacks, Indians, Foreigners are not people, they are animals to be bought and sold by the rich and famous, and don't you forget it. We say "equal before the law, due process of law, and shoot blacks down in the streets! Hell of place America: the police go unpunished for murdering our citizens. And you take umbrage over the poor being made to wait to vote. In 1960, 100 years after the 13th, 14th,and 15th Amendments were written, we had to pass a "right to vote" civil rights act! A HUNDRED years later. 94 years later we finally said the black citizens of the United States were entitled to GO To SCHOOL. It caused riots in the streets that the Government, a century after the civil war, where 600,000 Americans died to end slavery, said the African American Citizens of this nation were entitled to GO TO SCHOOL. 160 years after those Amendments, we still have a vicious attitude toward Indians, blacks, foreigners, people who look different, talk different, are different. America is NOT the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are prejudiced, stupid, lawless, and believe we are superior. Will we ever grow up?
