How will you feel, and what will be your reaction?
My reaction is that not one eligible American citizen should be prevented from voting by Jim Crow laws.
Edit: here is an interactive map from The Lawyer's Committee For Civil Rights Under Law, so you can check if you need to do something different to be able to vote this fall:

Plus, google your states election laws to double check.

Treason would be if the government were following the laws of this country as opposed to rewriting them to suit whatever whimsy comes there way.
How should anyone feel if there vote is negated due to even one voter who isn't supposed to be involved?
I would like my vote to count.
