Don’t Understand Voter Suppression? There’s a Video Game For That.

"Try your hand at voting in the world's greatest democracy!" the first card reads. "Will you endure hardships like long lines and voter intimidation? Or will you just take a leisurely stroll to your well-staffed polling place?" 

Like Oregon Trail, players then get to choose their character: a white programmer in California, a Latina nurse in Texas, or a black salesman in Wisconsin. Game creators say the choice to mimic the popular pioneer game, and myth, was intentional.
