Lawsuit Will Defend Constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act and Protect Minorities’ Right to Vote
"Unfortunately, there are still those who view voting as a privilege rather than the most fundamental right in a democracy. While the U.S. Constitution does not specifically guarantee a general right to vote, that right is implicit in the very existence of the Constitution," An article from Loop21, The Battle of Voter ID Bills, takes a look at the debate over voter ID bills from the perspective of whether voting is a privilege or a right.
