Texas early voting story UPDATE: Texas Early Voting Wave as Reaction to Systemic Disenfranchisement

ok now i know that i already posted the story about texas A&M university protesting the lack of close early election polling centers but now i found video which is just too awesome not to post

first here is the text from the article describing the video:

"Texas Republicans have worked overtime to make it harder for key Democratic voting groups to vote and be represented fairly. The redistricting games they’ve played are infamous. And for the Prairie View A&M University precincts, they put the early-polling place more than seven miles from the school.
So what did the students in this video do? They shut down the highway as they marched seven miles to cast their votes on the first day of early voting."

now here is the awesome video i was talking about
