As you will see from reading the article posted there, the participation of groups (youth, Hispanic, and Black) that tend to be underrepresented will determine the next election. At present, the Federal Elections Commission lacks a quorum and has been rendered toothless, and the Republican Party's campaign to disinfranchise low-income voters under the guise of voter ID laws is well advanced. Please cover this issue in your community and post (early and often) to whichever platform is best suited to bring attention to this issue to the public.

If you would like your site to become a central platform for this issue, (or if yours is, already) please respond here by commenting, so we'll all know where to post.
Thanks!
