- Why are college students challenging a North Carolina voter photo identification law?
- Why do Republicans and Democrats disagree about the need for new voter ID laws?
- How will the new North Carolina law affect younger voters, particularly college students?
- How does partisan politics seem especially relevant to the passage of the new North Carolina law?
Respond to These Critical Thinking Questions:
- Can you think of ways to make sure voting is both easy to do for young people, like college students, while at the same time reducing the possibility of voter fraud? Explain.
- Should states try to make it easier for young people to vote, so voter participation rates increase, or should they make it more difficult for young people to vote, to protect against the possibility of voter fraud? What do you think the priority should be? Explain.
- How can Mr. Obama address and expand voting rights in America?
