Can They Stop Me From Voting?
Posted October 13, 2008 at 9:33 AM

"Can I vote if my house is in foreclosure? I hear I can't vote if I wear my candidate's t-shirt to the polls. Is that true?"

Watch this video before you vote!

Efforts to challenge and suppress voters increase in close elections. Do you know your rights? Do you know what to do if someone challenges you when you go to vote?

MTV Street Teamer Nadir speaks with Professor Griff & Chuck D of Public Enemy and some noted Michigan journalists who kick the facts about your rights as a voter.

For addtional info read Minehaha Forman's article in The Michigan Messenger:
Five facts every Michigan voter must know: ACLU puts rumors to rest

I'm not sure, why wouldn't you be able to wear a t-shirt with a candidate on it?  what if you have alzheimer's and you need to look down to figure out who you want to vote for??  I'm glad some of the people I know cannot vote due to them wanting to vote the ****** in office, and then i'll be damned if he did get elected.  PRESIDENT OSAMA ladies and gentlemen.  I can't wait for the muslims to come and bomb us cause pres. osama gave them all the secrets and then all you people who voted for him will know how stupid you were to vote a black muslim in office.  You're all just so happy he's black, well good riddence, i can't wait until he resigns!

Obviously ignorance is still a problem in the United States as smokisses demonstrates.  It's unfortunate.
