Hi coreystone,

Nobody should be ignoring your posts! :)

I'm not sure how it would be broken down by any legal concept, but just from the hip, it seems that what we would be aiming to protect members of the overall registered voting pool from having their votes targeted by any kind of profiling. This profiling effort in Ohio at least, first of all, seems to be aimed at non-republican voters, specifically democrats. Secondly, they seem to be aimed primarily at poorer communities, with higher minority populations, and the more urbanized area of the State.

It seems that the best way of framing class if through the seemingly apparant targeting of communities that have a larger minority base, then you can factor in poor-white voters, and then urbanites in general, etc.

Anyone able to wiegh in with a better legal handle on the issue of defining class? :)

Thanks again for your posts!

Warmly,

George
