 What would it be like if we couldn't vote? That's what I think about on election day. I think about it because voter turnout can be dismal. I think about it because there are four amendments to the Constitution related to voting rights. Amendments that give people who were denied the right to vote their voting rights. People like Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton had had enough. It was unacceptable that as a woman, she was not allowed to vote. For more than 50 years, she fought for the right to cast a ballot. And she died nearly two decades before the 19th Amendment would pass. That's 70 years. It took far too long. Today I will vote. I will vote for Elizabeth Cady Stanton and all the women who fought alongside her. And I will vote for those who fought for the 15th Amendment, the 24th Amendment, and the Voting Rights Act. I will vote because I can. One person, one vote. It matters, and it counts. ----------------- I created this infographic to inspire more people to vote on election day.
