As a Michigan grad, this example is especially upsetting to me - but I know it’s happening all over. Elected leaders actively try to suppress the college vote by making it confusing and difficult for students to exercise their rights, and it needs to end.

I had the good fortune to see Angela Lansbury in Blithe Spirit at the Kennedy Center in 2015 (she was amazing, duh) and I was also lucky enough to dine at the same restaurant as her afterward, but I didn’t bother her - was about ten feet away though! RIP to an absolute legend.
