COMMENTS: Cover up the Paraphernalia
NBC unveiled its (866) OUR-VOTE service to deter intimidation of would-be voters as part of its Making Your Vote Count series. Rehema Ellis ran us through some folk myths about voter disqualifications. No, those with foreclosed homes do not lose the right to vote. No, students who vote where they study do not lose eligibility for financial aid or for their parents' healthcare coverage. Yes, even parking ticket scofflaws may vote. Yes, some states do forbid ballot access to voters wearing buttons, pins, hats and other partisan paraphernalia. Only Georgia and Indiana turn voters away who do not have government-issued photo ID.
