In Pennsylvania, a judge has sided with those who would seek to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of otherwise eligible voters just a few months before Election Day.
With the strength of our economy and our democracy at stake, you'd think that all Americans would rally to improve our schools, make college more affordable, and nurture our young people's college going aspirations.
