Students shut down Texas highway in protest of redistricting games to limit vote

I found this through Shakesville, and it is just amazing. The source story is from The Field:

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.


This is just WOW! Here is the video through YouTube:
