In The New York Times article "As Homes Are Lost, Fears That Votes Will Be, Too." Over 1,000,000 people lost their homes so will get disqualified
from the election for telling the election board an address they had. Ian Urbina reports, "The state[Ohio] requires that election officials send a notice to all registered voters verifying their address 60 days before an election to check the accuracy of the voter rolls." Because of the horrible economy, they couldn't afford a new house. They were stuck! In Missouri 250,000 told the post office they were moving, where 22,000 told the election board. Around 228,000 people in Missouri won't get to vote. It isn't fair if the people who need better taxes, economy,etc. can't vote? Is it?

It's totally unfair! What do you think the elections board can do to help these people vote?
Being disqualified just for losing your homes sure isn't fair. It could even lose people the election all because of 2 so-called little disqualifications!!!!!
That is so sad :(
i hope the government helps them
some might be made to vote with a provisional ballot, maybe??!
I know. It is sad!
Yeah JC! You are right
Boo Hoo!!!!
I not only think it is sad, I think it is also unfair. What do you think we could do in class to help these poor people?
