Texas students shut down highway and march 7 miles to vote in gerrymandered district

danah sez, "This is a video of students marching seven miles in Texas to cast their votes on the first day of early voting."


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.
