Example of "Title Stigmatization" (video)

Confusion Led To Thousands Of Tossed Votes Across State, Study Finds - NY1.com

After taking another look at this video, I discovered another disturbing fact about the statements made; the implication that so-called "low-income" voters are not intelligent enough to use more sophisticated equipment (sort of bicameral man v/s enlightened thinker), that socio-economic standing somehow denotes intelligence, and that sovereign individuals are being classified and stigmatized according to zip code.  Note: In New York, as is probably anywhere in America, goods and services are made accessible according to zip code.  Oh, what tangled web of prejudice our country has woven!  This is why I have designed to put an end to class, and I will succeed.
