2. Del. Co. Tried to Disqualify Students who changed dorm rooms
I just read an account of what happened several years ago in Delaware County, PA. At the time it was a Republican machine-controlled county. It is west of Philadelphia. There was a hotly contested race for congress by Dem. Bob Edgar (now head of the National Council of Churches). The county refused to let college students vote if they had changed dorm rooms from the address on their registration. Activists had to carpool the students down to the courthouse to emergency hearings so they could vote.
