This is so blatantly voter suppression, and the people in the state just aren't going to roll over and take it. Where I live, there are group of BOE watchers who quietly sit at every BOE meeting to remind them that they represent the voters. People went to Columbus yesterday to protest the firing of the Montgomery County BOE officials.

I am so grateful for Rachel's continuing coverage of this issue.
