Standing Up for the Right to Vote in MA
David at Blue Mass Group has further investigated the voter supresion tactics aimed at Boston Univeristy students in the Democratic primary for state representative in the 12th Suffolk District on Tuesday and concludes: "Students are legally entitled to vote in the district in which their dorm rooms are located; challenges to BU students may have been baseless."
The right to vote is about as sacred a civil right as we have in the United States. Efforts to intimidate, or defraud citizens from exercising thier right to vote are repugnant -- and often illegal -- no matter who does it and to whom they do it. No excuses.
Good for Blue Mass Group for standing up for the rights of everyone.
UPDATE: The Boston University College Democrats are not taking this lying down. Links to coverage by the BU student newspaper The Daily Free Press, and other source material is available on the BU College Dems site.
