Goal for the day: For you to feel prepared for Wednesday presentation on global issues
I started by discussing three recent court decisions about voting laws that speak to the current controversy about voter ID laws, same day registration, and out-of-precinct voting. This debate hearkens back to the march from Selma to Montgomery and the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
We spent the day working to prepare for Wednesday's presentations. The groups made a great deal of progress. Everyone will have the first ten minutes of class to do a dry run through prior to presenting.
Homework for Wednesday, October 8th
Complete the First Amendment questionnaire as prep for dividing into project groups tomorrow.
