Taking Part

 In too many States, the old guard, generally White Christians, is trying very hard to maintain control.  They are finding ways to create confusion about how to vote, when to vote and what you need to vote.  Generally, this has worked for them because those constituents are more in touch with the rules.

However, they are aging, and it might not be long before they are a bit disadvantaged by complex rules.  Young technically savvy people are going to dominate at some point.  

There is only so much you can do to slow the change and the more you do the more likely that it might backfire.  We saw similar efforts in the big cities to keep groups of immigrants out of power.  Eventually they were able to join fully in our democracy.  

In much of this country, African Americans have been held back.  This started to change with Civil Rights but it still has a way to go.  More significantly is to energize the next generation to get out and vote.

They are not taking over, they are simply taking part in our democracy.
