Monday Matters: Monday 6

- 96 year old African America, Dorothy Cooper was denied her right to vote because of new republican law of having a photo ID to vote and Dorothy has always voted.
-Republicans say that everyone does but this case disproves it
-this law affects minorities, young voters, poor voters, and disabled voters, and often elderly (18% lack photo IDs and people have spent many hours trying to get IDs in order to vote)
-Republicans believe IDs are essential to prevent election fraud however the state and federal laws already do that. Many people's abilities to vote are hindered by this.

    Well done overall. Is it possible for you to provide the opportunity to comment on all of your entries?

    This is a good job on synthesis here, especially as you integrate different opinions.
