A new Oregon Trail-like computer game was released by the New York Times. Called "The Voter Suppression Trail," its tagline reads, "Find out if your vote can survive the great, flawed adventure of American democracy."

And speaking of voter suppression, here in Ohio we just had a restraining order placed against the Trump campaign, as well as Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone, to prevent them from harassing or intimidating voters at the state's voting locations. It was felt this was necessary due to Trump's call for "election observers" to closely watch the polls for fraud intimidating voters as they enter to make their votes. Requests for similar restraining orders have been placed in Arizona, Michigan, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

Voters are being encouraged to vote from home using a phone code to text their vote for Hillary Clinton. The ads claim to be paid for by the Clinton campaign and include statements like "Vote from Home" and "Avoid the Line." Of course, they're totally false and that they target mostly black and Latino voters with direct reference to Clinton can be nothing but trying to make Democratic voters waste their vote by making them think they've voted when they haven't.

Surprisingly, 39 states allow citizens to challenge the eligibility of any voter at the polls. Only 15 of those states require proof from the challenger. And the version of this law in North Carolina has been described as "insane" and "something put together in 1901." Any person can claim another person is not eligible to vote forcing that person to show up at a hearing to prove they are eligible or have their eligibility stripped. So far this year the law has been used to purge over 7.000 North Carolina residents, most of them black (who typically vote Democratic.)
