Write two page paper (include an introduction paragraph, three to five body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph) that compares and contrasts the ruling in the three court cases (Bay County Democratic Party v. Land, Florida Democratic Party v. Hood, and Sandusky County Democratic Party v. Blackwell) Address the following questions:

• What are the reasons that the courts reached such different conclusions?
• Do you think that the HAVA law has promoted or discouraged voter participation?
• Why do you think that states would want to restrict citizens' right to vote and does this restriction favor one political party over another?
