You've been following Cute With Chris, right? No? Well, it's a blog/show dedicated to one of the two things the internet was invented for: showing pictures of kittens.

Chapter Two. In Which Chris Discovers That Rage is a Lot of Work.
Chapter Three. In Which Urgency Builds! Kelvin is all out of Orange! The Cutedown is Abandoned!
Chapter Four. In Which There is a Pen Crisis.
Chapter Five. In Which The Curtain Goes Up

I've been wondering about that very question; nice of Richard L. Hasen on Slate to address it directly. It seems to basically boils down to this: The Democratic and Republican Parties are private organizations, so they can run elections (funded by taxpayers' money) according to whatever rules they want, no matter how many voters get shut out, and the courts won't do a thing about it. Unless somebody tries to discriminate against black voters, which the legal system will step in to stop, because everybody agrees: THAT kind of discrimination is bad. But any other kind? Just more good clean political fun.
