Comprehensive Voting Reform Proposals


Voting rights is the most fundamental ingredient in democratic societies. Whereas, in the United States of America it is an age old issue that is one of the most contested and controversial.


The outcomes of elections determine citizenship, freedom, majority and minority status, and matters of national security, healthcare, and overall quality of life. Citizens and American inhabitants ought have the right to be cynical about voting. In part, the frustration comes from six presidential elections not going in the favor of the popular vote. But, the citizenry have to take control of the voting reform process.


The politically aware must increase engagement and the unaware have to engage in voting and voter turnout. Because, if voting was not important men and women that sit in city councils, state capital buildings, and Capitol Hill; would not fight so aggressively to suppress suffrage rights. If it were not important, there would not have been a Civil War. If it were not important, the ancestors would have been given suffrage when the United States Constitution was written. If it were not important, it would not have been gradual for non-white males to gain access to the ballot box. If it were not important, legal action would not be taking place to protect it. If it were not important, it would easily be expanded.
