this, in terms of the american vote system. we have had debates over who gets to vote, but it s been slowly expanded from first, when it was white men with property and african americans on women. this is the first type where we have seen first time that it went backwards and it s really sad because we ought to be making it easier for people to vote. there are noncontroversial ways to do it. it s just not what the politician ans have chosen to do. a disturbing trend, thank you for your work and joining us us. coming up, what now? bo obama makes an appearance but there may be another pup that may rival bo. that is next on now. coming up next on andrea mitchell reports, the battle for dixie will mitt romney win, place or show? chuck todd and chris cillizza
