Quoted: Additionally, Constance Flanagan of the University of Wisconsin argues, there?s been a backlash on college campuses to voter-suppression efforts. “The voter-suppression thing did make people more aware,” she said. “Our university newspaper had a front-page story about what are your rights, do you have to produce an ID. … It was a conversation topic among young people and something they passed on to one another.” Particularly, she said, that minority groups who felt targeted really responded by organizing themselves and making sure people voted. (Ta-Nehisi Coates and Andrew Cohen have both written about this backlash here at The Atlantic.)
