Part of the problem is that Appalachia's poor are so disenfranchised in so many ways, I doubt many of them get to the polls.
People who just lost their home to flooding caused by mountain top removal probably have voting low on their list of priorities. That's exactly the way Republicans want it. Keep the poor so stressed that they don't have the time to become informed or vote.
Imagine the power we could gather if all the disenfranchised people of the United States - from the inner cities to the mountains - were mobilized to make informed votes.
