and the poor. College kids should have the capability to research exactly what to do in order to vote and drive their car over to a polling place. There are people who are dirt poor who take three busses and have to take the day off of work and stand in line for 7 hours to vote.

I make sure I register properly and always double-check my polling place and that I'm registered in the right precinct as a Democrat in order to vote. Even then, I had a problem, being here in the state of Florida in a Republican area. I then had a hissy fit and demanded a provisional ballot. I also research what is the best way to vote, by absentee ballot, early voting, or voting on Election Day.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone who doesn't take the above precautions or at least some of them.
