Voter Suppression In The United States Wikipedia
Voter Suppression; is a strategy, to influence the outcome of an election, by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting.
Voter Suppression, attempts to reduce the number of voters who might vote against a candidate or proposition.
The tactics of voter suppression range from minor changes to make voting less convenient, to physically intimidating prospective voters, which is illegal.
Voter suppression can be effective if a significant number of voters are intimidated or disenfranchised. The United States Supreme Court ruled in Shelby v Holder, that voting laws, had resulted in voter suppression and discrimination.

Citizen Journalist The Internet gave average people the ability to transmit information globally. That was a power once reserved for only the very largest media corporations and news agencies.
Citizen journalism refers to the reporting of news events by members of the public using the Internet to spread the information.
Citizen journalism can be a simple reporting of facts and news that is largely ignored by large media companies. It is easily spread through personal websites, blogs, micro-blogs, social media, etc.
Some types of citizen journalism also act as a check on the reporting of larger news outlets by providing alternative analysis.
